ABSTRACT
Uncovering the molecular mechanisms of autism spectrum disorder (autism) necessitates development of relevant experimental models that are capable of recapitulating features of the clinical phenotype. Using non-integrative episomal vectors, peripheral blood mononuclear cells derived from three unrelated individuals diagnosed with autism were reprogrammed to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). The resultant lines exhibited the expected cellular morphology, karyotype, and evidence of pluripotency. These iPSCs constitute a valuable resource to support investigations of the underlying aetiology of autism.
