Generation of an iPSC line from skin fibroblasts of a patient with Joubert syndrome carrying the homozygous loss of function variant c.787dupC in the AHI1 gene

Abstract

We produced an iPSC line from a patient with Joubert syndrome carrying the homozygous c.787dupC variant in the AHI1 gene. The iPSC line was obtained by reprogramming skin fibroblasts, mycoplasma-free, using Sendai-virus-based technique. Characterization of iPSCs showed the same Short Tandem Repeats profile than fibroblasts, normal karyotype, expression of staminal markers (OCT4, SOX2, SSEA4 and NANOG) and ability to differentiate into three germ layers in vitro.
