Establishment of an induced pluripotent stem cell line (FDEENTi002-A) from a patient with Best's disease carrying c.888C > A mutation in BEST1 gene
Abstract
Best's disease (BD) is an inherited retinal degenerative disease caused by mutations in BEST1 gene. A human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line has been generated with integration-free Sendai virus method from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of a BD patient carrying c.888C > A mutation in BEST1 gene. This cell line may serve as a model for the study of pathogenesis of BD.
