Abstract
Differentiation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from patients and healthy donors allows in vitro study of genetic disorders. We have previously reported a clinical case of recurrent pregnancy loss in a patient with skewed X-chromosome inactivation in peripheral blood lymphocytes, endometrium, and buccal epithelium. We have found a 239 kb microdeletion at Xq24 that affected eight genes including UBE2A. In this work, we produced iPS cell line iTAF15Xsk4 from the patient’s skin fibroblasts using non-integrating episomal vectors. iPS cell line had a normal karyotype, expressed pluripotency markers, and upon differentiation in embryoid bodies expressed markers of all three germ layers. This cell line could be used for the UBE2A deficiency syndrome study.
