Abstract:
Epilepsy is a group of chronic brain disorders characterized by recurrent, episodic, and transient dysfunction of the central nervous system caused by abnormal, excessive neuronal discharges. In this study, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from a young patient bearing an FGF12 gene mutation and suffering from clinically and genetically diagnosed epilepsy. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were established using a non-integrative method involving plasmids carrying OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, BCL-XL, and C-MYC. The resulting iPSCs exhibited typical pluripotent cell morphology, a normal karyotype, and the potential to differentiate into all three germ layers.
