Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell line from a patient with Angelman syndrome carrying UBE3A mutation.

Angelman syndrome (AS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by abnormal expression or function defects of the UBE3A gene in the maternal chromosome region 15q11-13. In order to study the pathogenesis of Angelman syndrome and further search for its effective treatment, we established a human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from an AS patient carrying the mutation p.Asp563Gly of UBE3A gene at maternal 15q11.2-q13. The established patient-derived iPSC showed normal karyotype, expressed pluripotency markers, and had the capacity to differentiate into three germ layers.
