| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Gaucher disease (GD) is one of the rare inherited lysosomal storage disorders In this study, we established the human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from oral mucosa fibroblasts (OFs) derived from a patient diagnosed as “GD”. We also screened the SNPs of GBA1 gene using OFs, and found that this is an atypical GD-type. Furthermore, we found OFs were also reproducible materials for GCase activity. OFs have high lysosome related gene expressions similar to dermal fibroblasts, which used for checking GCase activity in the clinics. Therefore, we propose that OFs are suitable materials for the study for lysosomal disease.
