Abstract
Autosomal dominant lateral temporal epilepsy (ADLTE) is an inherited epileptic syndrome, and it is associated with mutations of leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) gene. The underlying mechanisms of ADLTE are still unknown, as human neurons are difficult to obtain as a research tool. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) allow the generation of patient-derived neuronal cells in a dish, and can be a promising tool to model ADLTE. Here, we report the establishment of human iPSCs from an ADLTE patient carrying LGI1 mutation (c.1418C > T, p.Ser473Leu).
