https://www.selleckchem.com/products/hc-7366.html Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) 8 is a rare form of monogenic diabetes characterized by a mutation in CEL (carboxyl ester lipase) gene, which leads to exocrine pancreas dysfunction, followed by β cell failure. Induced pluripotent stem cells can differentiate into functional β cells. Thus, β cells from MODY8 patients can be generated in vitro and used for disease modelling and cell replacement therapy. A genetic study was performed in a patient suspected of monogenic diabetes. A novel heterozygous pathogenic variant in CEL (c.1818delC) was identified in the proband, allowing diagnosis of MODY8. Three MODY8-iPSC (induced pluripotent stem cell) clones were reprogrammed from skin fibroblasts of the patient, and their pluripotency and genomic stability confirmed. All 3 MODY8-iPSC differentiated into β cells following developmental stages. MODY8-iPSC-derived β cells were able to secrete insulin upon glucose dynamic perifusion. The CEL gene was not expressed in iPSCs nor during any steps of endocrine differentiation. iPSC lines from a MODY8 patient with a novel pathogenic variant in the CEL gene were generated; they are capable of differentiation into endocrine cells, and β cell function is preserved in mutated cells. These results set the basis for in vitro modelling of the disease and potentially for autologous β cell replacement. iPSC lines from a MODY8 patient with a novel pathogenic variant in the CEL gene were generated; they are capable of differentiation into endocrine cells, and β cell function is preserved in mutated cells.

In mink, no such array is available; instead, genotyping by sequencing (GBS) can be used to generate marker information. Here, we evaluated the
