Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common inherited retinal diseases, characterized by photoreceptor cell death and retinal pigment epithelial atrophy. Mutations in cyclic nucleotide gated channel subunit alpha 1 (CNGA1) have been reported to cause retinitis pigmentosa. Here, we established the human induced pluripotent stem cell line (iPSC) SJTUGHi002-A, generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a 36-year-old male RP patient, who carried a homozygous frameshift variant in CNGA1 gene (c.265delC; p.L89Ffs*4). The cell line can serve as a patient-derived disease model for exploring the pathogenesis and drug development of CNGA1-RP.
