Abstract

Aceruloplasminemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the CP gene, encoding the copper-binding protein ceruloplasmin. A mutation in the CP gene results in brain and systemic iron overload, which is classified as a rare subtype of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA). Here, we used the Sendai virus delivery system to generate induced pluripotent stem cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a patient carrying the CP c.607+1 delG homozygous splicing mutation. The generated cell line retained the original genotype, expressed pluripotency markers, and differentiated into cells of the three germ layers.
