Generation of 10 patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to model Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome

Summary

Autosomal dominant mutations in transcription factor 4 (TCF4) are associated with a rare syndromic form of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) called Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome (PTHS). Here, we report the generation of a collection of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from 5 patients diagnosed with PTHS and 5 familial controls. These patient-derived iPSCs contain a variety of mutations within the TCF4 gene, possess a normal karyotype and express all the appropriate pluripotent stem cell markers. These novel patient lines will be a useful resource for the research community to study PTHS and the function of TCF4. Copyright © 2020 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
