Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell line (FDCHi008-A) from an infant with chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction

Abstract

Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a rare condition characterized by intestinal obstruction without any restriction or occlusion, that represents the most severe form of gastrointestinal dysmotility. Here we established the induced pluripotent stem cell line FDCHi008-A from PBMCs of a 4-month infant with CIPO, which provides a patient-specific in vitro model to explore the underlying pathogenesis of pediatric intestinal pseudo-obstruction.
