Abstract

Expansion over 200 CGG repeats in FMR1 gene causes inherited intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder named as fragile X syndrome. Despite the known cause fragile X syndrome pathogenesis has not been specified yet. The ICGi026-A iPSCs line was obtained by the reprogramming of the peripheral blood mononuclear cells from a 9-year-old boy with fragile X syndrome. The ICGi026-A iPSCs expressed pluripotency markers, had a normal male karyotype (46, XY) and had the capacity to in vivo differentiate into the cells of three germ layers.
