Generation and characterization of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from three male and three female patients with CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder (CDD)
Summary
CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder (CDD) is a rare X-linked monogenic developmental encephalopathy that is estimated to affect 1:42,000 live births. CDD is caused by pathogenic variants in the CDKL5 gene and is observed in both male and female patients. Here, we report the generation and characterization of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from fibroblasts of six unrelated CDD patients-three males and three females. These patients are clinically diagnosed to present with classic CDD phenotypes, including refractory epilepsy and global developmental delay, and are being followed in a longitudinal clinical study.
