Normal Collagen and Bone Production by Gene-targeted Human Osteogenesis Imperfecta iPSCs
26 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is caused by dominant mutations in the type I collagen genes. In principle, the skeletal abnormalities of OI could be treated by transplantation of patient-specific, bone-forming cells that no longer express the mutant gene. Here, we develop this approach by isolating mesenchymal cells from OI patients, inactivating their mutant collagen genes by adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated...
