Abstract
Neurodevelopmental disorder with spastic diplegia and visual defects (NEDSDV) is a rare disease. Patients with NEDSDV are usually accompanied by microcephaly, severe mental retardation, spasticity, and global developmental delay. Recent studies showed that mutations in CTNNB1 are responsible for the phenotype. Here, we generated an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line (SBWCHi001-A) from an 18-month-old patient with NEDSDV, who harbored a de novo heterozygous mutation in CTNNB1. The transduced iPSCs expressed pluripotency markers, and could differentiate into three germ layers in vitro. This cell line will be a cell model to explore the pathogenesis of NEDSDV and discover potential therapies.
