PARKIN protein-deficient iPSC line (FINi006-A) from an early-onset Parkinson’s disease female patient

Résumé fourni par la source

Compound heterozygosity for strong hypomorphic mutations in the PRKN gene is a common cause of autosomal familial Parkinson's disease (PD). We generated an iPSC cell line from the fibroblasts of a PARKIN protein-deficient early-onset PD female patient, carrying genomic deletions of exon 2 and exons 5-7. This line displays characteristic human iPSC morphology and expression of pluripotency-associated genes, and the ability to differentiate into derivatives of three embryonic germ layers, and has a normal karyotype without any SNP array-detectable copy number variations. We anticipate the value of this PARKIN-deficient iPSC line and its derivatives in illuminating the intracellular role of this protein, contributing to the development of PD.
