Generation of disease-specific induced pluripotent stem cells from patients with different karyotypes of Down syndrome
18 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Down syndrome (DS), a major cause of mental retardation, is caused by trisomy of some or all of human chromosome 21 and includes three basic karyotypes: trisomy 21, translocation, and mosaicism. The derivation of DS-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provides us novel DS models that can be used to determine the DS mechanism and to devise therapeutic approaches for DS patients. METHODS:...
