Generation and Characterization of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (hiPSC) Lines From an Alzheimer's Disease (ASUi003-A) and Non-Demented Control (ASUi004-A) Patient Homozygous for the Apolipoprotein e4 (APOE4) Risk Variant
Description
Although the majority of late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients are labeled sporadic, multiple genetic risk variants have been identified, the most powerful and prevalent of which is the e4 variant of the Apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene. Here, we generated human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of a clinically diagnosed AD patient [ASUi003-A] and a non-demented control (NDC) patient [ASUi004-A] homozygous for the APOE4 risk allele. These hiPSCs maintained their original genotype, expressed pluripotency markers, exhibited a normal karyotype, and retained the ability to differentiate into cells representative of the three germ layers.
