Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) is a disease that is characterized by susceptibility to chronic or recurrent infections with Candida spp. due to mutations affecting mainly the IL-17 signaling of T-Cells. The most common etiologies of CMC are gain-of-function (GOF) mutations in the STAT1 gene. In this paper we report the generation of a hiPSC line from a patient suffering from CMC due to a heterozygous GOF STAT1 p.R274Q mutation which can be used for disease modeling purposes.
