Generation of two induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines (BBANTWi006-A, BBANTWi007-A) from Brugada syndrome patients carrying an SCN5A mutation

Abstract

Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inherited primary electrical disorder of the heart. 25% of BrS patients carry a mutation in the SCN5A gene, encoding the cardiac specific voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.5. Here we report two iPSC lines (BBANTWi006-A, BBANTWi007-A) of a brother and a sister carrying an SCN5A mutation (c.4813 + 3_4813 + 6dupGGGT) causing BrS. iPSCs were generated from dermal fibroblasts and reprogrammed with the Cytotune®-iPS 2.0 Sendai Reprogramming Kit (Invitrogen). The generated iPSCs showed a normal karyotype, expressed pluripotency markers, were differentiated into cells of the three germ layers and carried the original genotype.
