Generation of integration-free induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line MURAi002-A from hemoglobin E/β-thalassemia disease patient harboring βE/β0 (CD41/42, -CTTT) compound heterozygous mutation.

Abstract excerpt

The HBB gene encodes the β-globin protein, a component of adult hemoglobin A (HbA) which is responsible for the transportation of oxygen. Mutations in the HBB gene can impair β-globin synthesis and disrupt hemoglobin production. Patients who possess both a protein-reducing β-thalassemia mutation and a βE mutation in their HBB gene are affected by hemoglobin E/β-thalassemia disease. This study demonstrates the...
