Generation of the human iPSC lines AKOSi011-A carrying the mutation p.Pro65Ser/p.Asp35T and AKOSi012-A, carrying the mutation p.Tyr231His, derived from FAHN patient fibroblasts

Abstract

Fatty acid hydroxylase-associated neurodegeneration (FAHN) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disease caused by mutations in the FA2H gene. Patients show a wide range of neurological symptoms and an abnormal myelination. Here we describe the generation of the human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines AKOSi011-A and AKOSi012-A, derived from FAHN-patient fibroblasts, carrying the compound heterozygous mutation p.Pro65Ser/p.Asp35Tyr and the homozygous mutation p.Tyr231His, respectively. The hiPSC lines were generated using a non-integrating Sendai virus. The obtained hiPSCs show an unobtrusive karyotype, carry the mutations of the original fibroblasts, express pluripotency markers and can differentiate into cells of the three germ layers.
