A mutation on an autosome causes a particular protein to be overproduced, and the excess protein accumulates in the liver and damages it. Would the resulting disorder most likely be inherited in an autosomal dominant or recessive pattern?
IPSCs are nearly identical to human embryonic stem cells in terms of gene expression, but there may be other ways in which they are not equivalent. For example, the telomeres of IPSCs often vary in length, with many IPSCs cells having telomeres shorter than those of embryonic.
