Abstract
Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder with a range of causes, only 5% of which can be explained by known genetic variants. We revealed polymorphisms in LRRK2 and PINK1 genes of a person with parkinsonism cases in family anamnesis. PBMCs of the patient were reprogrammed with a non-integrating episomal vectors to generate an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line. The iPSC line showed typical morphology and normal karyotype, expressed pluripotency markers, and was capable to differentiate into three germ layers. The iPSCs represent a valuable tool for investigating a potential implication of the genetic variants into the Parkinson’s disease pathogenesis.
