Generation of a human iPSC line, FINCBi001-A, carrying a homoplasmic m.G3460A mutation in MT-ND1 associated with Leber's Hereditary optic Neuropathy (LHON)
Summary
Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) is a maternally inherited disorder caused by homoplasmic mutations of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). LHON is characterized by the selective degeneration of the retinal ganglion cells (RGC). Almost all LHON maternal lineages are homoplasmic mutant (100% mtDNA copies are mutant) for one of three frequent mtDNA mutations now found in over 90% of patients worldwide (m.11778G > A/MT-ND4, m.3460G > A/MT-ND1, m.14484 T > C/MT-ND6). Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) were generated from a patient carrying the homoplasmic m.3460G > A/MT-ND1 mutation using the Sendai virus non-integrating virus.
