Establishment of induced pluripotent stem cell lines from an ARVC patient carrying a heterozygous variant in LAMA2 gene
Summary
Using peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) reprogramming technology, a human-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was produced from a patient who presents classic clinical features of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVA) and carries a de novo laminin subunit alpha 2 (LAMA2) heterozygous mutation (NM_000426.3: c.8842G > A, p.G2948S). This mutation was not inherited from his parents, who also present normal cardiac phenotype. This iPSC line demonstrates a normal karyotype. Pluripotency and differentiation capacity has been confirmed in vitro. This cell line can help in efforts to understand the pathogenic mechanism between LAMA2 mutation and ARVC.
