Human induced pluripotent stem cell line (SDQLCHi064-A) derived from a patient with Canavan disease carrying c.556_559dup GTTC and c.919delA mutations in the ASPA gene

Summary

Canavan disease (CD, OMIM# 271900) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in ASPA gene, which result in catalytic deficiency of the aspartoacylase enzyme and the accumulation of N-acetylaspartic acid (NAA). Clinical presentation varies according to the age of disease onset. Here, we generated a human induced pluripotent stem cell line (hiPSCs) SDQLCHi064-A from a 5-month old boy with CD carrying two novel frame shift mutations c.556_559dupGTTC (p.L187Rfs*5) and c.919delA (p.S307Vfs*24) of the ASPA gene, in order for us to better understanding the disease.
