Autosomal dominant lateral temporal epilepsy (ADLTE) is an inherited epileptic syndrome, and it is associated with mutations of leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) gene. The underlying mechanisms of ADLTE are still unknown, as human neurons are difficult to obtain as a research tool. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) allow the generation of patient-derived neuronal cells in a dish, and can be a promising tool to model ADLTE. Here, we report the establishment of human iPSCs from an ADLTE patient carrying LGI1 mutation (c.1418C>T, p.Ser473Leu).
常染色体显性遗传性外侧颞叶癫痫（ADLTE）是一种遗传性癫痫综合征，与富含亮氨酸的胶质瘤失活1（LGI1）基因突变有关。由于难以获取人类神经元作为研究工具，ADLTE的潜在机制仍不清楚。人类诱导多能干细胞（iPSC）能够在培养皿中生成患者来源的神经元细胞，可能是用于建立ADLTE模型的理想工具。在此，我们报告了从一名携带LGI1突变（c.1418C>T，p.Ser473Leu）的ADLTE患者身上成功建立人类iPSC的过程。
