Genomic and functional profiling of human Down syndrome neural progenitors implicates S100B and aquaporin 4 in cell injury
5 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
Down syndrome (DS) is caused by trisomy of chromosome 21 and is characterized by mental retardation, seizures and premature Alzheimer's disease. To examine neuropathological mechanisms giving rise to this disorder, we generated multiple human DS neural progenitor cell (NPC) lines from the 19-21 week frontal cortex and characterized their genomic and functional properties. Microarray profiling of DS progenitors...
