Six human induced pluripotent stem cell sublines (hiPSCs) were generated from human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) derived from skin biopsies donated from monozygotic twin women wherein one woman had proven fertility and her sister was infertile due to ovarian failure. Three hiPSC sublines were created from each twin’s HDFs. hiPSCs were reprogrammed using Sendai virus vectors and were subsequently positive for markers of self-renewal including OCT4, NANOG, TRA-1-81 and SSEA-4. Pluripotency was further verified using PluriTest. We show here that the hiPSC lines created from the twins are equivalent in measures of pluripotency and self-renewal, despite their differential diagnosis.
