Spinocerebellar ataxia type3 (SCA3) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder. Human embryonic stem cell line chHES-472 was derived from abnormal embryo donated by SCA3 patient after preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) treatment.

Skin fibroblasts were obtained from a male patient diagnosed with retinoblastoma (RB) carrying a c.2663G>A mutation in the 25 exon of RB1 gene. RB-iPS cells was generated via delivered four reprogramming factors (OCT4, SOX2, NANOG and LIN28) into these skin fibroblasts. The RB-iPS cells retained the RB1 heterozygous mutation resulted in a truncated RB1 mRNA. Characteristic tests proved that the...
