Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disease characterized by cognitive decline even leading to incapacity, which prevalence estimates that about 5% of AD cases are caused by mutations in genes such as Presenilin-1 (PSEN1). Here we report the generation and characterization of an iPSC line derived from a patient carrying an E363Q mutation in PSEN1 gene. The iPSC line we generated presented a typical morphology, normal karyotype, free from Sendai viral vectors and exogenous factors, expressed endogenous pluripotency marker genes and proteins, which could form embryoid bodies in vitro and form teratoma in vivo as well, demonstrating its pluripotency.
