Two human iPSC lines were generated from dermal fibroblasts derived from a patient with retinitis pigmentosa caused by CRB1 mutation using episomal plasmids containing OCT4, SOX2, LIN28, KLF4, L-MYC and mp53DD. These clonal iPSC lines carry compound heterozygous mutations in CRB1 (c.2555 T > C and c.3014A > T). Both lines expressed pluripotency markers, displayed a normal karyotype and demonstrated the ability to differentiate into the three primary germ layers, as well as retinal organoids.
