Abstract
The neurodevelopmental disorder Angelman syndrome (AS) has an incidence of 1:15.000 live births and is caused by absence of UBE3A protein, showing imprinted gene expression in the brain. Imprinted genes are controlled by differentially methylated regions resulting in parent-of-origin dependent gene expression. Two iPS cell lines derived from patients with AS and one healthy control iPSC line were used to integrate a 3rd generation reverse tetracycline transactivator protein (rtTA3) into the AAVS1 locus on chromosome 19. The rtTA allows tetracycline-dependent activation of an inducible promoter that can be introduced at a position of interest in the cell lines described here.
