Epilepsy of infancy with migrating focal seizures (EIMFS) is a kind of epileptic encephalopathy with high genetic heterogeneity. The most common pathogenic gene for EIMFS is potassium sodium-activated channel subfamily T member 1 (KCNT1). Using Sendai virus-mediated reprogramming, we established an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of a five-month-old Chinese girl with heterozygous missense mutation (c.2800 G>A) in the KCNT1 gene. The iPSCs were stable during amplification, expressed pluripotent genes, maintained a normal karyotype, and showed characteristics of the three germs layers in an in vitro differentiation assay.
