Abstract

GATA binding protein 6 (GATA6) is an important transcription factor of cardiovascular endothelial cells, has the potential to regulate the process of cardiac development. Consequently, its abnormal expression is related to congenital heart disease.Human GATA6 gene clones were on chromosome 18 q11.1- q 11.2, consists of 7 exons and 6 intron.Now, a human embryonic stem cell line with GATA6 c.620_647del (p.S208Afs*77) mutation was generated. Interestingly, the ESC line displayed a normal karyotype, pluripotency and morphology of stem cells.This cell line has the ability to undergo differentiation into three germ layers in vivo.
