Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell line (LVPEIi002-A) with heterozygous RB1 mutation using peri-orbital fat derived mesenchymal cells of a patient with inherited retinoblastoma.

Abstract excerpt

Retinoblastoma is a pediatric intraocular cancer caused by biallelic inactivation of RB1 gene in retinal progenitor cells. Here, we report the generation of a patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line (LVPEIi002-A) from a patient diagnosed with retinoblastoma and showing familial inheritance of a nonsense mutation (c.1735C > T) within exon 18 of one of the two alleles. This RB1+/- iPSC line,...
