Mutations in ABCA4 gene are causative for autosomal recessive Stargardt disease (STGD1), the most common inherited retinal dystrophy. Here, we report the generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from a STGD1 patient carrying biallelic c.[5461-10T>C;5603A>T];[6077T>C] mutations in the ABCA4 gene. Episomes carrying OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, L-MYC, LIN28 and mp53DD were employed for the reprogramming of patient-derived fibroblasts. This iPSC line expressed comparable pluripotency markers as in a commercially available human iPSC line, displayed normal karyotype and potential for trilineage differentiation, and were negative for both reprogramming episomes and mycoplasma test., (Copyright © 2021 The Author(s).

Two human iPSC lines were generated from dermal fibroblasts derived from a patient with retinitis pigmentosa caused by CRB1 mutation using episomal plasmids containing OCT4, SOX2, LIN28, KLF4, L-MYC and mp53DD. These clonal iPSC lines carry compound heterozygous mutations in CRB1 (c.2555 T > C and c.3014A > T). Both lines expressed pluripotency markers, displayed a normal karyotype and demonstrated the ability to differentiate into the three primary germ layers, as well as retinal organoids., (Copyright © 2021.

Stargardt disease (STGD1) is the most common inherited retinal dystrophy and ABCA4 c.546--10 T>C is the most commonly reported splice mutation. Here, we generated and characterized two induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from a STGD1 patient with compound heterozygous mutations in ABCA4 (c.[5461-10 T > C;5603A > T];[4163 T > C;455G > A]). Episomal vectors containing OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, L-MYC, LIN28 and mp53DD were employed to conduct the reprogramming of patient-derived fibroblasts. Both lines had a normal karyotype, displayed iPSC morphology, expressed pluripotency markers and showed trilineage differentiation potential. These lines can provide a powerful platform for further investigating the pathophysiological consequences of mutations in ABCA4., (Copyright © 2021 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.

The human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines LEIi015-A and LEIi015-B were derived from a patient with inherited retinal disease caused by compound heterozygous mutations in the SNRNP200 gene (c.[1792C>T];[3341T>C]). Dermal fibroblasts were transfected with episomal plasmids carrying transgenes encoding OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, L-MYC, LIN28, mir302/367 microRNA and shRNA for P53. The clonal iPSC lines LEIi015-A and LEIi015-B expressed iPSC markers, were free from genomic alterations and demonstrated trilineage differentiation potential., (Copyright © 2021 The Author(s).

Mutations in the USH2A gene are the most common cause of Usher syndrome and autosomal recessive non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa. Here, we describe the generation of three induced pluripotent stem cell lines from dermal fibroblasts derived from a patient carrying biallelic c.949C > A and c.1256G > T variants in the USH2A gene, using episomal reprogramming plasmids expressing OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, MYCL, LIN28, mir302/367 and shRNA targeting TP53. All three lines expressed pluripotency markers, displayed unaltered karyotypes as well as trilineage differentiation potential, and were negative for reprogramming episomes and mycoplasma., (Copyright © 2020.

Autosomal recessive Stargardt disease is the most common cause of inherited retinal disease. In this report, we describe the generation and characterization of two human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from a patient with compound heterozygous mutations in the ABCA4 gene (c.[768G>T];[6079C>T]). Patient dermal fibroblasts were reprogrammed using episomal plasmids encoding OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, L-MYC, LIN28, mir302/367 microRNA and shRNA for P53. The clonal iPSC lines LEIi012-A and LEIi012-B were established. Both lines had a normal karyotype, displayed iPSC morphology, expressed pluripotency genes at similar levels to control iPSC and displayed trilineage differentiation potential during embryoid body differentiation., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2020 The Authors.

Variants in RCBTB1 have been implicated in inherited retinal disease (IRD). Here, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from a 45-year-old female IRD patient harbouring compound heterozygous mutations in the RCBTB1 gene. Episomal plasmids containing OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, MYCL, LIN28, shRNA for TP53 and mir302/367 microRNA were employed to conduct the reprogramming of primary dermal fibroblasts. These iPSC lines provide a useful model for further investigations on the pathophysiological role of mutations in the RCBTB1 gene in IRD., (Copyright © 2019 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

We report the generation of the iPSC line LEIi005-B from a patient with retinitis pigmentosa caused by a dominant nonsense mutation in the RP1 gene (c.2098G>T p.E700X). Reprogramming of dermal fibroblasts was performed using episomal plasmids containing OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, L-MYC, LIN28, mir302/367 microRNA and shRNA for p53 to establish the clonal iPSC line LEIi005-B. LEIi005-B expressed pluripotent stem cell markers, had a normal karyotype and differentiated into endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm., (Copyright © 2019. Published by Elsevier B.V.)

A second line, LEIi009-A, was generated from a related non-penetrant carrier of the same mutation with no retinal disease. Reprogramming of patient dermal fibroblasts using episomal plasmids containing OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, L-MYC, LIN28, shRNA for p53 and mir302/367 microRNA generated cell lines displaying pluripotent stem cell marker expression, a normal karyotype and the capability to differentiate into the three germ layer lineages.
