Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder resulting from pathogenic variants in FBN1 gene. FBN1 encodes for fibrillin-1, an important extracellular matrix protein. Impaired fibrillin-1 affects multiple organ systems, including the cardiovascular system. We generated an iPSC line carrying a heterozygous variant c.7754 T > C (p.Ile2585Thr, missense) in FBN1 from a patient with Marfan syndrome. Also, an isogenic control is generated, where the pathogenic variant is repaired using CRISPR-Cas9. This isogenic pair provides a valuable resource for in vitro disease modelling.
马凡综合征是一种常染色体显性遗传病,由FBN1基因的致病变异引起。FBN1编码原纤维蛋白-1,这是一种重要的细胞外基质蛋白。原纤维蛋白-1受损会影响多个器官系统,包括心血管系统。我们从一名马凡综合征患者中生成了一条携带FBN1基因杂合变异c.7754 T>C(p.Ile2585Thr,错义突变)的诱导多能干细胞系。此外,还生成了一个等基因对照,其中使用CRISPR-Cas9修复了致病变异。这一等基因对为体外疾病建模提供了宝贵资源。
