Abstract
Best disease, also known as Best vitelliform macular dystrophy, is an autosomal dominant form of macular degeneration. Here, we have generated an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line derived from a Best disease patient carrying a new dominant mutation in the BEST1 gene. Skin fibroblasts were reprogrammed to iPSCs by the non-integrative Sendai-virus method. The iPSC line has been characterized preserving the BEST1 mutation, expressing the pluripotency markers and being capable to differentiate to endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm in vitro.
