Generation of human induced pluripotent stem cell line (NIDCRi001-A) from a Muenke syndrome patient with an FGFR3 p.Pro250Arg mutation
Abstract
Muenke syndrome is the leading genetic cause of craniosynostosis and results in a variety of disabling clinical phenotypes. To model the disease and study the pathogenic mechanisms, a human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line was generated from a patient diagnosed with Muenke syndrome. Successful reprogramming was validated by morphological features, karyotyping, loss of reprogramming factors, expression of pluripotency markers, mutation analysis and teratoma formation.
