Establishment of a human induced pluripotent stem cell line, KMUGMCi007-A, from a patient with prolidase deficiency (PD) bearing homozygous in-frame mutation in the PEPD gene

Abstract

Prolidase deficiency (PD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized mainly by skin lesions of the legs and feet, respiratory infections and mental retardation, and impaired immune system. To date, no effective PD treatment has been developed. The PD case are caused by homozygous mutation in PEPD gene. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells from a patient carrying homozygous in-frame mutation of the PEPD gene were reprogrammed using the CytoTune-iPS2.0 Sendai Reprogramming Kit. The homozygous in-frame mutation in PEPD will cause the abnormal protein variant. The established human induced pluripotent cell line will enable proper in vitro disease modelling of PD.
