Generation of two hiPSC lines (UMILi027-A and UMILi028-A) from early and late-onset Congenital Central hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS) patients carrying a polyalanine expansion mutation in the PHOX2B gene
Summary
Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS) is a rare disorder of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), characterized by inadequate control of autonomic ventilation and global autonomic dysfunction. Heterozygous polyalanine repeat expansion mutations in exon 3 of the transcription factor Paired-like homeobox 2B (PHOX2B) gene occur in 90% of CCHS cases. In this study, we describe the generation and characterization of two human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines from female CCHS patients carrying a heterozygous + 5 alanine expansion mutation. The generated iPSC lines show a normal karyotype, express pluripotency markers and are able to differentiate into the three germ layers. Copyright © 2022 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
