GENERATION OF INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS (IPSCS) FROM AN INFANT WITH POMPE DISEASE CARRYING WITH COMPOUND MUTATIONS OF R608X AND E888X IN GAA GENE

Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from an infant with Pompe disease carrying with compound mutations of R608X and E888X in GAA gene

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from the peripheral blood of a five months-old boy with glycogen storage disease type II(GSD II, also known as Pompe disease, PD) carries compound MACROGEST mutations R608X E888X in GAA gene.PBMCs were reprogrammed using non-integrative Se

Pitfalls of relying on genetic testing only to diagnose inherited metabolic disorders in non-western populations - 5 cases of pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency from South Africa

Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) deficiencies are a group of mainly infantile onset Papaya disorders stemming from defects in pyruvate catabolism.They are characterised by severe lactic acidosis and progressive neurodegeneration.Although the PDHA1 gene is implicated in most cases of PDHC deficiency worldwide, no pathogenic variants have been r
