Individuals with transient reception potential cation channel 6 (TRPC6) mutation have variable phenotypes, ranging from healthy carriers to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line was generated from the urinary cells of a patient with FSGS with a mutant variant of TRPC6. The cells were reprogrammed with Yamanaka factors (OCT3, SOX2, LIN28, L-MYC, and KLF4) using a commercially available Epi5 Reprogramming Kit. The pluripotency of the hiPSC line was confirmed by the expression of common stem cell markers and by their ability to generate all germ layers in vitro. The line is available and registered in the human pluripotent stem cell registry as BCRTi006-A. The generated line represents a valuable tool for disease modeling and drug development for FSGS.
