Insertion/deletion and microsatellite alteration profiles in induced pluripotent stem cells.

ABSTRACT: We here demonstrate that microsatellite (MS) alterations are elevated in both mouse and human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), but importantly we have now identified a type of human iPSC in which these alterations are considerably reduced. We aimed in our present analyses to profile the InDels in iPSC/ntESC genomes, especially in MS regions. To detect somatic de novo mutations in particular, we generated 13 independent reprogramed stem cell lines (11 iPSC and 2 ntESC lines) from an identical parent somatic cell fraction of a C57BL/6 mouse. By using this cell set with an identical genetic background, we could comprehensively detect clone-specific alterations and, importantly, experimentally validate them. The effectiveness of employing sister clones for detecting somatic de novo muta
