Genetic polymorphism of apolipoprotein E (APOE) confers differential susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease (AD), and APOE ɛ4 variants is the most powerful risk factor for this disease. Here, we report the generation of a human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line carrying the APOE ɛ4/ɛ4 genotype from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from a male with a family history of AD utilizing non-integrative Sendai virus vector. The iPSC maintains their original genotype, highly express endogenous pluripotency markers, displays a normal karyotype, and retains the ability to differentiate into cells representative of the three germ layers.
