Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell line (TRNDi008-A) from a Hunter syndrome patient carrying a hemizygous 208insC mutation in the IDS gene

Abstract

Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II (MPS II), also known as Hunter syndrome, is a rare X-linked genetic disease caused by mutations in the IDS gene encoding iduronate 2-sulfatase (I2S). This is a multisystem disorder with significant variation in symptoms. Here, we document a human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line generated from dermal fibroblasts of a patient with Hunter syndrome containing a hemizygous mutation of a 1 bp insertion at nucleotide 208 in exon 2 of the IDS gene. The generation of this line will allow development of cell-based models for drug development, as well as the study of disease pathophysiology.
