Generation and characterization of a human iPS cell line from a patient-related control to study disease mechanisms associated with DAND5 p.R152H alteration

Summary

A DAND5-control human iPSC line was generated from the urinary cells of a phenotypically normal donor. Exfoliated renal epithelial (RE) cells were collected and reprogrammed into iPSCs using Sendai virus reprogramming system. The pluripotency, in vitro differentiation potential, karyotype stability, and the transgene-free status of generated iPSC line were analyzed and confirmed. This cell line can be exploited as a control iPSC line to better understand the mechanisms involved in DAND5-associated cardiac disease. Copyright © 2018 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
