Goto Collection: Werner syndrome patients’ cells (GMC)
● Goto Collection is a collection of cells derived from patients suffering from Werner syndrome which is a late-onset premature senility. The cells derived from Werner syndrome-like patients are also involved.
● This collection is very precious and useful not only for researches of premature senility but also for researches of the diseases frequently occurred in this patients such as cancer, and thus we are providing this collection for such researches including analyses of gene and genome. We provide this collection not only to domestic users in Japan but also to users in overseas, in addition not only to not-for-profit institutions but also to for-profit institutions.
● Providing cells are fibroblasts and B cell lines transformed by Epstein-Barr Virus.
● In addition to the cell material itself, we are providing information about gender and age of the patients who have donated the source cells. When we possess the information of gene and/or genome, we provide them as well.
● After the providing procedures including a conclusion of an MTA (material transfer agreement), we provide this collection.
● This collection including its information is strictly preserved by the RIKEN BioResource Research Center.
● The cell lines are anonymous. The donators cannot withdraw the utilization for researches.
