Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell line, ICGi029-A, by reprogramming peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a patient suffering from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and carrying a heterozygous p.N515del mutation in MYBPC3

Abstract

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common cardiovascular disease. However, effective methods of its therapy have not been developed so far. To date patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes are supposed to be a useful tool for studying HCM molecular mechanisms and to help find new approaches to HCM therapy. Using non-integrating episomal vectors, we generated an iPSC line from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of an HCM patient carrying a heterozygous p.N515del mutation in MYBPC3. The iPSC line expressed pluripotency markers, gave rise to derivatives of three germ layers during spontaneous differentiation, had normal karyotype, and retained the patient-specific mutation.
