Generation of pluripotent stem cell lines and CRISPR/Cas9 modified isogenic controls from a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy harboring a RBM20 p.R634W mutation

Summary

RNA binding motif protein 20 (RBM20) is an alternative splicing factor and highly expressed in cardiac tissue. Mutations in the RS domain of RBM20 have been shown to cause different cardiomyopathies. Here, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from a dilated cardiomyopathy patient harboring the heterozygous RBM20 mutation p.R634W and consecutively produced isogenic control line using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. Patient-specific RBM20 iPSCs and isogenic control line maintained full pluripotency, genomic integrity, and in vitro differentiation capacity. All iPSC-lines were able to differentiate into pure cardiomyocytes, thus providing a valuable tool for studying the pathogenesis of human RBM20-mediated cardiac disease. Copyright © 2020 The Authors.
