Abstract

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common genetic disorder of adults, characterized by uncontrolled cysts formation that causes a gradual impairment of kidney function. We generated a human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line from the urinary cells of a patient diagnosed with ADPKD using a non-integrating Epi5™ Episomal iPSC reprogramming strategy. Characterization of the cell line was performed regarding their undifferentiated status, differentiation potential, and quality control for karyotypic integrity, identity, and clearance of reprogramming vectors. The newly derived hiPSC line, namely BCRTi007-A, can be used in vitro for disease modeling of ADPKD as well as testing for novel therapeutic approaches.
