Genetic Diseases

Genetic diseases are caused by mutations, duplications, deletions or translocations of genetic material within gametic cells. Mutations that do not produce lethality give rise to individuals that display phenotypic characteristics associated with each disease or syndrome. ATCC provides a wide array of cell lines from genetic diseases, such as Down's Syndrome, Cystic Fibrosis, Cri du Chat Syndrome, and Marfan's Syndrome.

Cystic Fibrosis Cell Lines

ATCC has cell lines derived from cystic fibrosis lung tissue and from iPSCs reprogrammed by episomal expression of the OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and MYC genes.

Down Syndrome Cell Lines

ATCC has cell lines derived from the tissue and iPSC of individuals affected by Down syndrome.

Ehlers-Danlos’ Syndrome Cell Lines

ATCC offers cell lines derived from the skin of individuals affected by multiple types of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

Hereditary Spherocytosis Cell Lines

The ATCC collection includes several derivations of the WIL-2 cell line, which originates from the spleen of a hereditary spherocytosis patient.

Lesch-Nyhan’s Syndrome Cell Lines

The ATCC collection includes cell lines of mouse and human origin to support the study of Lesch-Nyhan’s syndrome.

Marfan’s Syndrome Cell Lines

ATCC’s holding include an array of cell lines derived from the skin of individuals affected with varying severity by Marfan’s syndrome.
