Although not an affected cell type, skin fibroblasts from individuals with CC-ALD, an early onset X-linked neurological disorder, show defects in very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) metabolism that provide the basis for clinical diagnostic tests. Skin fibroblasts from CC-ALD patients can be reprogrammed into iPS cells with all the hallmark properties of pluripotency. The iPS cell phenotypes may reflect the tissue-specificity of the lipid metabolic defects found in CC-ALD patients.
The gene expression profiles of induced pluripotent stem cells from individuals with childhood cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy are consistent with proposed mechanisms of pathogenesis.

View SamplesSkin fibroblasts from individuals with PBD-ZSD, a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by peroxisome assembly defects, show defects in lipid metabolism that provide the basis for clinical diagnostic tests, but are not among the cell types most affected by disease. To explore phenotypes of more clinically relevant cell types, skin fibroblasts from PBD-ZSD patients and healthy controls were reprogrammed into iPS cells with all the hallmark properties of pluripotency. Subsequently, iPSCs were differentiated into ASGPR-positive hepatocyte-like cells that were subject to flow cytometry and subject to gene expression profiling.
