Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy type 5 (ARVC-5) is a dominantly inherited cardiomyopathy caused by the mutation TMEM43-p.S358L. An induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line (HDZi001-A) from an adult male mutation carrier was generated, using the CytoTune Sendai Kit. The resulting iPSCs carried the mutation TMEM43-p.S358L, had a normal morphology, a stable karyotype and were positive for the expression of pluripotency markers. This iPSC line can be differentiated into the three germ layers and might be a useful model for the characterization of ARVC-5 associated pathomechanism.
