Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, and in particular relates to a leukoencephalopathy patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell line containing CLCN2 homozygous mutation (c.2257C>T) and a construction method thereof. Background technique
[0002] CLCN2 gene is a gene encoding chloride channel 2 (Chloride Channel 2, ClC-2) protein. ClC-2 is widely distributed in the human body, especially in the brain, where it plays an important role in regulating water and electrolyte balance [1]. ClC-2 functions in multiple organs and tissues [2]. Among them, CLCN2-related leukoencephalopathy (CC2L) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease caused by mutations in the CLCN2 gene that lead to ClC-2 dysfunction. CC2L patients often present with retinochoroidopathy or optic atrophy, male infertility, cerebellar ataxia, cognitive impairment, learning disabilities, etc. Brain MRI usually shows degeneration of myelin vacuoles[3-5].
