A Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was generated from dermal fibroblasts of a patient affected with an autosomal recessive retinal dystrophy carrying the homozygous c.910-7G>A variant in UBAP1L. Three isogenic control iPSC lines derived from this affected subject line were created using CRISPR/Cas9 engineering. All iPSC lines expressing the pluripotency markers, were able to differentiate into the three germ layers, and exhibit a normal karyotype. These cellular models will provide a powerful tool to study disease mechanisms associated with the recently reported UBAP1L- associated retinal dystrophy and better understand the role of the protein in retinal physiology.
从一名患有常染色体隐性视网膜营养不良的患者的真皮成纤维细胞中生成了人诱导多能干细胞(iPSC)系,该患者携带UBAP1L基因纯合的c.910-7G>A变体。使用CRISPR/Cas9基因编辑技术从这个受影响的细胞系中创建了三个同基因对照iPSC系。所有表达多能性标志物的iPSC系都能够分化为三个胚层,并呈现正常的核型。这些细胞模型将为研究与最近报道的UBAP1L相关的视网膜营养不良相关的疾病机制提供一个强大的工具,并更好地理解该蛋白在视网膜生理学中的作用。
