Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were successfully generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from two patients with a heterozygous mutation in the CDC42 gene. Both iPSC lines expressed pluripotency markers, differentiated into the three germ layers in vitro, showed normal karyotypes, and retained the disease-causing mutation. Created iPSC lines and their differentiated derivatives may be of interest in the study of the physiology of disease mechanisms and therapy.
