Abstract

A KD-control human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) line (PUMCi002-A) was generated from dermal fibroblasts of a Krabbe patient's father with a c.461C>A mutation in Galactocerebrosidase (GALC) gene. The pluripotency, in vitro differentiation potential and karyotype stability of generated iPSC line were analyzed and confirmed. This cell line can be exploited as a control iPSC line to better understand the mechanisms involved in GALC-associated Krabbe disease and provide plausible new therapeutic directions.
