We established a human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) line (MPIi006-A) from fibroblasts of a 20-year-old male Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) patient with a hemizygous 643C>T mutation in proteolipid protein 1 (PLP1) gene using a retroviral delivery of OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC. The MPIi006-A iPSC line carried the mutation, displayed typical iPSC morphology, expressed pluripotent stem cell makers, exhibited normal karyotype and were capable of differentiating into cells representative of three germ layers.

Oligodendrocytes, a type of glial cell in the central nervous system, have a critical role in the formation of myelin around axons, facilitating saltatory conduction, and maintaining the integrity of nerve axons. The dysregulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation and homeostasis have been implicated in a wide range of neurological diseases, including dysmyelinating disorders (e.g.

Hypomyelinating leukodystrophies are a subset of genetic white matter diseases characterized by insufficient myelin deposition during development. MRI patterns are used to identify hypomyelinating disorders, and genetic testing is used to determine the causal genes implicated in individual disease forms. Clinical course can range from severe, with patients manifesting neurologic symptoms in infancy or early childhood, to mild, with onset in adolescence or adulthood.
