Generation of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell line

Summary

Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT) is a genetic disorder characterized by ventricular tachycardia, that can cause the heart to stop beating leading to death. The prevalence is 1/10.000 and in approximately 60% of cases, the syndrome can be due to a mutation of the cardiac ryanodine receptor gene (RyR2). We derived an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from an 11-year-old patient blood-cells, carrying a heterozygous missense mutation on the 8th exon of the RyR2 N-terminal part. This reprogramed CPVT line displayed normal karyotype, expressed pluripotent markers and had a capacity to differentiate in trilineage embryonic layers. Copyright © 2022 The Authors.
