Generation and characterization of the CSSi021-A (15665) human induced pluripotent stem cell line from a Smith-Magenis syndrome patient with a heterozygous RAI1 mutation.

Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by haploinsufficiency of the Retinoic Acid Induced 1 (RAI1) gene located at 17p11.2. It is estimated that approximately 90% of patients have a 17p11.

Production of an induced pluripotent stem cell line CSSi018-A (14192) from a patient with hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 7 (HLD7) carrying biallelic variants of POLR3A (c.1802 T > A; c.4072G > A).

Hypomyelinating leukodystrophies (HLD) are a group of heterogeneous genetic disorders characterized by a deficit in myelin deposition during brain development. Specifically, 4H-Leukodystrophy is a recessive disease due to biallelic mutations in the POLR3A gene, which encodes one of the subunits forming the catalytic core of RNA polymerase III (PolIII). The disease also presents non-neurological signs such as hypodontia and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

Generation of induced pluripotent stem cell line, CSSi004-A (2962), from a patient diagnosed with Huntington's disease at the presymptomatic stage.

Huntington's disease (HD) is an incurable, autosomal dominant, hereditary neurodegenerative disorder that typically manifests itself in midlife. This pathology is linked to the deregulation of multiple, as yet unknown, cellular processes starting before HD onset. A human iPS cell line was generated from skin fibroblasts of a subject at the presymptomatic life stage, carrying a polyglutamine expansion in HTT gene codifying Huntingtin protein.
