Abstract excerpt
Human skin fibroblasts were isolated from a 40-year-old hereditary spastic paraplegia patient carrying an intronic splice site mutation (c.1687+2T>A) in SPAST, leading to hereditary spastic paraplegia type 4 (SPG4). Fibroblasts were reprogrammed using episomal plasmids carrying hOCT4, hSOX2, hKLF4, hL-MYC and hLIN28. The generated transgene-free line iPS-SPG4-splice retained the specific mutation with no...
