Popis: Myofibrillar myopathy (MFM) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by muscular dystrophy that is often associated with cardiac disease. This disease is caused by mutations in several genes, among them DES (encoding desmin) is the most frequently affected. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 5 different MFM patients with different DES mutations were reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSC) using non-integrative vectors. For each patient, one IPSC clone was selected and demonstrated pluripotency hallmarks without genomic abnormalities. SNP profiles were identical to the cells of origin and all the clones have the capacity to differentiate into all three germ layers.
