Genetic expansions of the hexanucleotide repeats (GGGGCC) in the C9orf72 gene appear in approximately 40% of patients with familial ALS and 7% of patients with sporadic ALS in the European population, making this mutation one of the most prevalent genetic mutations in ALS. Here, we generated a human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line from the dermal fibroblasts of a patient carrying a 56 -repeat expansion in an ALS disease -causing allele of C9orf72. These iPSCs showed stable amplification in vitro with normal karyotype and high expression of pluripotent markers and differentiated spontaneously in vivo into three germ layers.

Abstract
Genetic expansions of the hexanucleotide repeats (GGGGCC) in the C9orf72 gene appear in approximately 40% of patients with familial ALS and 7% of patients with sporadic ALS in the European population, making this mutation one of the most prevalent genetic mutations in ALS. Here, we generated a human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line from the dermal fibroblasts of a patient carrying a 56 -repeat expansion in an ALS disease -causing allele of C9orf72. These iPSCs showed stable amplification in vitro with normal karyotype and high expression of pluripotent markers and differentiated spontaneously in vivo into three germ layers.File in questo prodotto:
