Title Generation of human induced pluripotent stem cell lines derived from four Rett syndrome patients with MECP2 mutations.
Journal Stem Cell Res
Abstract Rett syndrome is characterized by severe global developmental impairments with autistic features and loss of purposeful hand skills. Here we show that human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines derived from four Japanese female patients with Rett syndrome are generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells using Sendai virus vectors. The generated hiPSC lines showed self-renewal and pluripotency and carried heterozygous frameshift, missense, or nonsense mutations in the MECP2 gene. Since the molecular pathogenesis caused by MECP2 dysfunction remains unclear, these cell resources are useful tools to establish disease models and develop new therapies for Rett syndrome.
