Generation and Characterization of a Human-Derived iPSC line from a female child with First-Episode of sporadic schizophrenia

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Schizophrenia is a highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorder. In this study, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from a female child diagnosed with first-episode of sporadic schizophrenia. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were generated by introducing the reprogramming factors OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, LIN28, c-MYC, KLF4, and SV40LT. The iPSC line was confirmed through karyotyping and the expression of key pluripotency markers. These cells demonstrated the ability to differentiate into all three germ layers in vivo.
