Generation of two hiPSCs lines of two patients carrying truncating mutations in the dimerization domain of filamin C

Summary

Here we introduce the human induced pluripotent stem cell lines (hiPSCs), HIMRi004-A and HIMRi005-A from dermal fibroblasts of a 48-year-old female (HIMRi004-A) carrying missense mutation that translate to the first described filamin C isoform p.W2710X and from a 56-year-old female (HIMRi005-A) carrying a recently described mutation in the same domain p.Y2704X. Both lines are generated via lentiviral expression of OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC. The lines display a typical embryonic stem cell-like morphology, express pluripotency markers, retain a normal karyotype (46, XX) and have the differentiation capacity in all three germ layers. The two lines can be used to elucidate the pathomechanisms of FLNC myofibrillar myopathies and to develop novel therapeutic options. Copyright © 2024. Published by Elsevier B.V.
