Description
This induced pluripotent stem cell line was derived by using episomal vectors to reprogram dermal fibroblasts from a female Stargardt Macular Dystrophy patient. LEIi007-A is described as having a normal karyotype and compound heterozygous variants in the ABCA4 gene. Expression of OCT4, NANOG, KLF4, TRA-1-81 and SOX2 in undifferentiated cells, and in vitro spontaneous differentiation to endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm have been reported.
