Abstract
Rubinstein Taybi Syndrome (RSTS) is a rare genetic disorder which is caused by mutations in either CREBBP or EP300. RSTS with mutations in CREBBP is known as RSTS-1. We have generated an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line, IGIBi018-A from an Indian RSTS-patient using the episomal reprogramming method. The CREBBP gene in the patient harbours a nonsense mutation at position NM_004380.3(c.6876 del C). IGIBi018-A iPSC showed expression of pluripotent stem cell markers, has a normal karyotype and could be differentiated into three germ layers. This iPSC line will help to explore the role of CREBBP in RSTS associated developmental defects.
