Abstract

Congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) is inherited metabolicdiseasecaused by defects in the genes important for the process of protein and lipidglycosylation. We established an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a 6-month-old boy with congenital disorder of glycosylation carrying heterozygous mutations c.1193 T > C (p.I398T) and c.376_384dup CCGCAGCAC (p.P126_H128 dupPQH) in MPI gene. This iPSC line was free of exogenous gene, expressed pluripotency markers, has normal karyotype, exhibited differentiation potential and harbored the same mutations found in the patient. This cell line will provide a reliable cell model for further studies on the potential therapeutic targets of CDG.
