Generation of five induced pluripotent stem cell lines with DMD/c.497G > T mutation from renal epithelial cells of a Duchenne muscular dystrophy patient and a recessive carrier parent.

Abstract excerpt

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), an inherited disease caused by the dystrophin gene mutation, is the most common muscular dystrophy in children and is clinically characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and severe cardiomyopathy. In this study, renal epithelial cells were obtained from urine samples of a DMD patient (4 years old) and his recessive carrier parent (35 years old). The cells were...
