Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), are reprogrammed from somatic cells that can self-renew indefinitely and produce different types of cells. They provide human model cell lines for orphan drug development. It is the goal of this study to define new cellular disease models for Inborn Erors of Metabolism, as enabling tools for both drug discovery and development.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Participants with an Inborn Error of Metabolism

Other: Skin biopsy
The biopsy will be performed by means of punch biopsy (diameter 2.5 mm) under local anesthesia on a forearm. The skin biopsy will be transferred to sterile cell culture Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) 1% Penicillin 1% Streptomycin 1% Gentamycin medium 10% FBS.

Other: Withdraw of blood
Blood will be collected in: 1 x Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA) tube (7.5 ml) - for further leucocytes extraction that are a potential backup for new iPS cell lines generation 1 x Citrate Phosphate Dextrose Adenine (CPDA) tube (8.5 ml) - for EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines generation 1 x Dried Blood Spot DBS-filtercard, called CentoCard® - for quality control confirmatory genetic testing

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Generation of patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells and then differentiate them into neural cells. [1 day]

    To generate patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells and then differentiate them into neural cells, or other specific cell according to the Inborn Error of Metabolism, to study the misfolded proteins in endoplasmic reticulum, their role in untranslated protein response, and possible mechanisms to shuttle the misfolded proteins into lysosomes.
