Generation of a human induced pluripotent stem cell line PUMCHi017-A from a Choroideremia patient with CHM mutation

Abstract

Choroideremia (CHM) is a rare monogenic, X-linked recessive inherited chorioretinal dystrophy caused by loss of function variants in the CHM gene. We successfully generated a novel human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line from a CHM patient with CHM variant using the Sendai-virus based approach. These cells will provide a disease model for further studies on the disease pathogenesis and potential interventions.
