We report the generation of three isogenic iPSC clones (UNIBSi007-A, UNIBSi007-B, and UNIBSi007-C) obtained from fibroblasts of a patient with Aicardi Goutières Syndrome (AGS) carrying a homozygous mutation in RNaseH2B. Cells were transduced using a Sendai virus based system, delivering the human OCT4, SOX2, c-MYC and KLF4 transcription factors. The resulting transgene-free iPSC lines retained the disease-causing DNA mutation, showed normal karyotype, expressed pluripotent markers and could differentiate in vitro toward cells of the three embryonic germ layers.
