Human induced pluripotent stem cells line (PNUSCRi002-A) from a patient with Parkinson’s disease carrying a R159W mutation in the GBA gene

Abstract

Mutation in the glucocerebrosidase encoding gene 1 (GBA) is one of the most frequent causes of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Herein, we obtained peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from a patient with PD with a heterozygous c.475C > T (p.R159W) mutation in the GBA gene, and generated an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line (GBA PD9 or PNUSCRi002-A hiPSCs) using a non-integrative Sendai virus. The iPSC line expressed pluripotency markers (OCT4, NANOG, SSEA-4, TRA-1-60) and displayed differentiation properties in the three germ layers (ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm). Additionally, the patient had a normal karyotype.
