Human embryonic stem cells derived from abnormal blastocyst donated by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency patient.

A human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line was derived from abnormal embryo donated by Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency patient. Sequencing analysis confirmed that the hESC line possessed the mutant contributing to abnormal expression of G6PD. Further characteristic analysis demonstrated that the favism hESC line maintained stable and normal karyotype, expressed pluripotent markers and had the capacity of generating the derivatives from all three germ layers.
