Generation of two non-integrated induced pluripotent stem cell lines from urine-derived cells of a Chinese patient carrying NF1 gene mutation
Abstract
Mutations in the neurofibromin (NF1) gene cause neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a complex tumour predisposition syndrome. Here, we generated two induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines using urine cells (UCs) derived from a 21-year-old female NF1 patient carrying c.496_497delGT mutation in the NF1 gene (p.Val166LeufsTer7). The newly derived SMBCi003-A and SMBCi003-B iPSC lines used as a cellular model to unravel pathogenesis of NF1.
