The NF1 gene is related to neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), which is an autosomal dominant disorder associated with multisystem involvement and epilepsy susceptibility. A human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was derived from a pediatric patient with NF1 and epilepsy, harboring a heterozygous NF1 gene mutation. The iPSC line exhibits high levels of pluripotency markers, maintains the NF1 gene mutation, and demonstrates the capacity to undergo differentiation potential in vitro into three germ layers. The iPSC line will serve as a valuable resource for investigating the underlying mechanisms and conducting drug screening related to NF1 and NF1-associated epilepsy.
NF1 基因与神经纤维瘤病 1 型(NF1)相关,NF1 是一种常染色体显性遗传病,与多系统受累和癫痫易感性相关。我们从一名患有 NF1 和癫痫的儿科患者中诱导出多能干细胞(iPSC)系,该患者携带 NF1 基因杂合突变。该 iPSC 系表现出高水平的多能性标志物,保持 NF1 基因突变,并具有体外分化为三个胚层的潜能。该 iPSC 系将成为研究 NF1 和 NF1 相关癫痫的潜在机制和进行药物筛选的有价值资源。
