Generation of three induced Pluripotent Stem Cell lines from individuals with Hypomyelination with Atrophy of Basal Ganglia and Cerebellum caused by a c.745G>A (p.D249N) autosomal dominant mutation in TUBB4A

Summary

Mutations in tubulin alpha 4a (TUBB4A) result in a spectrum of leukodystrophies, including Hypomyelination with atrophy of basal ganglia and cerebellum (H-ABC), resulting from a recurring mutation p.Asp249Asn (TUBB4AD249N). H-ABC presents with dystonia, motor and cognitive impairment and pathological features of hypomyelination and loss of cerebellar and striatal neurons. We have generated three induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from fibroblast and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of individuals with TUBB4AD249N mutation. The iPSCs were assessed to confirm a normal karyotype, pluripotency, and trilineage differentiation potential. The iPSCs will allow for disease modeling, understanding mechanisms and testing of therapeutic targets. Copyright © 2023 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
