Abstract excerpt
Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is an autosomal-dominant connective tissue disorder, commonly caused by genetic mutation of transforming growth factor-beta receptor (TGFBR)-1 or TGFBR2. This study describes the generation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) from peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from an LDS patient with TGFBR2 mutation (R193W). Analysis confirmed the cells had a normal...
