Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) is a hereditary neuropathy caused by the duplication of the PMP22 gene, leading to Schwann cell dysfunction and peripheral demyelination. We developed a Schwann cell lineage model derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) obtained from a CMT1A patient. This model exhibited disease-specific phenotypes, providing a valuable platform for investigating the pathophysiology of CMT1A and exploring therapeutic strategies.
1A型夏科-马里-图斯病(CMT1A)是一种由外周髓鞘蛋白22(PMP22)基因重复引起的遗传性神经病变,可导致施万细胞功能障碍和周围神经脱髓鞘。我们从一名CMT1A患者诱导多能干细胞(iPSC)中构建了施万细胞谱系模型。该模型呈现出疾病特异性表型,为研究CMT1A的病理生理学和探索治疗策略提供了一个有价值的平台。
