Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from a microvillus inclusion disease patient with a homozygous missense mutation in UNC45A

Summary

Mutations in UNC45A, a co-chaperone for myosins, were recently found causative of a syndrome combining cholestasis, diarrhea, loss of hearing and bone fragility. We generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from a patient with a homozygous missense mutation in UNC45A. Cells from this patient, which were reprogrammed using integration-free Sendaï virus, have normal karyotype, express pluripotency markers and are able to differentiate into the three germ cell layers.
