Abstract excerpt
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) opened the possibility to use patient cells as a model for several diseases. iPSCs can be reprogrammed from somatic cells collected in a non-invasive way, and then differentiated into any other cell type, while maintaining the donor´s genetic background. CYFIP2 variants were associated with the onset of an early form of epileptic encephalopathy. Studies with patients showed...
