An induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of a 24-year-old male patient affected by Lafora disease. The patient is homozygous for the c.721C>T, p.(Arg241*) nonsense variant in the EPM2A gene, which codes for the laforin protein. The generated iPSC line possesses a normal karyotype, expresses pluripotency markers, and can differentiate into derivatives of the three germ layers. It is configured as a useful tool for both disease modeling and therapy development.

Abstract
An induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of a 24-year-old male patient affected by Lafora disease. The patient is homozygous for the c.721C>T, p.(Arg241*) nonsense variant in the EPM2A gene, which codes for the laforin protein. The generated iPSC line possesses a normal karyotype, expresses pluripotency markers, and can differentiate into derivatives of the three germ layers. It is configured as a useful tool for both disease modeling and therapy development.File in questo prodotto:
