Abstract
Gaucher disease (GD) is one of the most prevalent lysosomal storage diseases caused by mutation of glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) gene. GD patients develop symptoms in various organs of the body; however, the underlying mechanisms causing pathology are still elusive. Thus, a suitable disease model is important in order to facilitate subsequent investigations. Here, we established MUi031-A human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells of a female type-3 GD patient with homozygous c.1448 T > C (L444P) mutation. The cells exhibited embryonic stem cell-like characteristics and expressed pluripotency markers with capability to differentiate into three germ layers.
