The different T21-iPSCs reprogrammed.

Type and Age of Donor Cells Reprogramming Method Characteristic of the iPSCs DS Phenotype Investigated References
Fibroblasts from patients (1 year, 1 month) with unrelated controls Retrovirus with OSKM The first T21-iPSCs generated [10]
Fibroblasts from a DS patient (1 year) with unrelated controls Retrovirus with OSKM Neurons and AD associated phenotype [10,13,14]
Skin fibroblasts from DS patients (childs) with no control Lentivirus with OSKM T21-iPSCs with different karyotypes for DS [15]
Amniotic fluid cells (second trimester) with age match control Lentivirus with OSKM Reduced number of neurons [16]
Fibroblasts from DS individuals Retrovirus with OSKM Isogenic iPSCs Myeloid Leukemia [10,17]
Neonatal fibroblasts Fetal stromal cells Fetal mononuclear cells Doxycycline-induced Lentivirus with OSKM, Retrovirus with OSKM Myeloid Leukemia [18]
Fibroblasts from DS individuals Lentivirus with OSNL Trisomy 21 deletion through TKNEO Proliferation and neurogenesis [12]
Fibroblasts from unrelated patients and controls Fibroblasts from a mosaic DS patient. Episomal vectors with OSK or OSNLM Non integrating procedures Isogenic iPSCs Neurogenesis, gliogenic shift [19]
Fibroblasts from unrelated patients and controls Fibroblasts from a mosaic DS patient Retrovirus with OSKM Sendai virus with OSKM Isogenic iPSCs Neuron deficit [20]
