Generation of two human induced pluripotent stem cell lines from a patient with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome with a hemizygous single nucleotide variant in the androgen receptor (AR) gene

Summary

Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS) is a difference of sex development (DSD) caused by loss of function of the androgen receptor (AR) gene. Patients typically identify as female and have a 46,XY karyotype. Two induced pluripotent stem cell lines (iPSCs), LCHi001-A and LCHi001-B, were generated from a participant with CAIS with AR mutation: c.2698A>T (p.Ile900Phe). Both lines presented typical morphology, expressed stem cell markers, differentiated into three germ layers, had a normal 46,XY karyotype, were mycoplasma-free, and carried the expected mutation in AR. These iPSC lines are an important resource for studying CAIS pathogenesis and possible treatment options. Copyright © 2021 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
