Generation and characterization of a human iPSC line from a patient with propionic acidemia due to defects in the PCCA gene
Abstract
Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was generated from fibroblasts of a patient with propionic acidemia carrying mutations in the PCCA gene: c.1899+4_1899+7delAGTA; p.(Cys616_Val633del) and c.1430−−?_1643+?del; p.(Gly477Glufs*9). Reprogramming factors OCT3/4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC were delivered using a non-integrative method based on the Sendai virus. Once established, iPSCs have shown full pluripotency, differentiation capacity and genetic stability.
