Induced pluripotent stem cell line UOMi002-A from a patient with Leigh syndrome with compound heterozygous mutations in the NDUFV1 gene

Summary

Within the umbrella of mitochondrial disorders, Leigh's disease is characterised as a rarer form with more than 80 genetic and mitochondrial DNA aberration variants. Here we report establishment of an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from a 2.5 years old deceased female child, harbouring mutations in the NDUFV1 gene. One of the variants reported here is novel. The establishment of iPSC line allows development of a stable disease model for the specific variations, as there are no other cell/animal disease models for the same. Copyright © 2020 The Authors.
