Generation of two induced pluripotent stem cell lines from dilated cardiomyopathy patients caused by heterozygous mutations in the HCN4 gene.

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a progressive heart muscle disease that can culminate with heart failure and death. Mutations in several genes can cause DCM, including hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel (HCN4), which has a critical function in the autonomic control of the heart rate. Here, we generated two human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines generated from two DCM patients carrying variants in the HCN4 gene (c.2587G > T and c.2846G > A). Both lines display normal karyotype, typical morphology of pluripotent stem cells, and differentiate into all three germ layers in vitro. These lines are valuable resources for studying the pathological mechanisms of DCM.
