Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder is a heterogenous neurodevelopmental disorder. The patients experience challenges in social interaction and communication skills as well as restricted and/or repetitive behaviors. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying developmental brain disorders, patient-derived cellular models represent a useful tool. We have generated a human induced pluripotent stem cell line (SDUKIi003-A) from skin fibroblasts derived from a 20-year old male patient diagnosed with Asperger syndrome (“FYNEN-cohort” of Southern Denmark). The reprogramming of the fibroblasts was accomplished using integration-free episomal plasmids. Characterization validated the expression of pluripotency markers, differentiation into the three germ layers, and absence of chromosomal abnormalities.
