Abstract

We derived an integration-free induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of a 23-year-old male patient. This patient carries a 5′ splice site point mutation in intron 1 (c.31+1G>A) of the dystrophin gene, a mutation associated with X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy (XLDCM). Sendai virus was used to reprogram the PBMCs and deliver OCT3/4, SOX2, c-MYC, and KLF4 factors. The iPSC line (HKUi002-A) generated preserved the mutation, expressed common pluripotency markers, differentiated into three germ layers in vivo, and exhibited a normal karyotype. Further differentiation into cardiomyocytes enables the study of the disease mechanisms of XLDCM.
