Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the major cause of dementia worldwide. Early-onset familial AD accounts for about 0.5% of all AD and is caused by single major gene mutations and autosomal dominant inheritance. An N141I missense mutation is associated with a significant increase in basal cell death and apoptosis. In this work we generated hiPSC from skin fibroblasts obtained from an AD patient carrying a N141I missense mutation in PSEN2. The generated iPSC colonies grew and were characterized by pluripotency marker staining; the N141I missense mutation was corrected using genome editing technology.
