Generation of human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from an unaffected female carrier of mutation in SACSIN gene

Abstract

The human iPSC cell line, CARS-FiPS4F1 (ESi064-A), derived from dermal fibroblast from the apparently healthy carrier of the mutation of the gene SACSIN, was generated by non-integrative reprogramming technology using OCT3/4, SOX2, CMYC and KLF4 reprogramming factors. The pluripotency was assessed by immunocytochemistry and RT-PCR. This iPSC line can be used as control for Autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS) disease.
