| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to explicate organ specific pathogenesis in patients with cardiac Fabry disease using induced pluripotent stem cells. Upon approval of our local ethical committee, cardiac Fabry patient derived fibroblasts were established. Despite the success of establishment of iPS cells from healthy donor, we are not able to establish iPS cells from cardiac Fabry patient derived fibroblasts using lentiviral or retroviral reprogramming gene transduction. Further study is definitely required to reveal the role of defective enzyme alpha-galactosidase A in the process of reprogramming into iPS cells
