Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell line from a patient with retinitis pigmentosa caused by RP1 mutation

Summary

We report the generation of the iPSC line LEIi005-B from a patient with retinitis pigmentosa caused by a dominant nonsense mutation in the RP1 gene (c.2098G>T p.E700X). Reprogramming of dermal fibroblasts was performed using episomal plasmids containing OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, L-MYC, LIN28, mir302/367 microRNA and shRNA for p53 to establish the clonal iPSC line LEIi005-B. LEIi005-B expressed pluripotent stem cell markers, had a normal karyotype and differentiated into endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm. Copyright © 2019. Published by Elsevier B.V.
