Both environmental and genetic factors contribute to the development of diabetes mellitus and although monogenic disorders are rare, they offer unique insights into the fundamental biology underlying the disease. Mutations of the insulin gene or genes involved in the response to protein misfolding c...
A1AT deficiency is an autosomal not recessive disorder caused by mutations in the SERPINA1 gene. Individuals with the Z variant retain polymerised protein in the endoplasmic reticulum of hepatocytes, predisposing them to liver disease. This study primarily aimed to uncover the molecular mechanisms t...

Analysis of genomic integrity of disease-corrected human induced pluripotent stem cells by exome sequencing
Analysis of genomic integrity of disease-corrected human induced pluripotent stem cells by exome sequencing
Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells hold great promise for autologous cell transplantation. In order to apply this therapy to monogenic disorder, disease-causing mutations must be corrected prior to transplantation. We generated iPS cells from patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, which is ...
