The ATP-binding cassette, subfamily A (ABC1), member 7 (ABCA7) gene is associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk in populations of African, Asian, and European ancestry. Numerous ABCA7 mutations contributing to risk have been identified, including a 44 base pair deletion (rs142076058) specific to individuals of African ancestry and predicted to cause a frameshift mutation (p.Arg578Alafs) (Cukier et al., 2016). The UMi043-A human induced pluripotent stem cell line was derived from an African American individual with AD who is heterozygous for this deletion and is a resource to further investigate ABCA7 and how this African-specific deletion may influence disease pathology.
ATP结合盒转运体A亚家族成员7(ABCA7)基因与非洲、亚洲和欧洲血统人群的阿尔茨海默病(AD)风险相关。已鉴定出许多导致风险的ABCA7突变,包括非洲血统个体特有的44个碱基对缺失(rs142076058),预计会导致移码突变(p.Arg578Alafs)(Cukier等人,2016年)。UMi043-A人诱导多能干细胞系源自一名患有AD的非裔美国人个体,该个体对此缺失为杂合子,是进一步研究ABCA7以及这种非洲特异性缺失如何影响疾病病理的资源。
