Generation of the human induced pluripotent stem cell line (SHAMUi001-A) carrying the heterozygous c.-128G>T mutation in the 5'-UTR of the ANKRD26 gene

Abstract

Thrombocytopenia 2 (THC2) is a major type of inherited thrombocytopenia caused by the persistent ANKRD26 expression during the late stage of megakaryocytopoiesis. For the first time, we generated a human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line SHAMUi001-A from the bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cells of a THC2 patient, who has a heterozygous mutation (c.-128G>T) in the 5'-UTR of ANKRD26 gene. SHAMUi001-A cells retain the mutation, display pluripotent stem cell characteristics, and have a normal female karyotype. This disease-specific hiPSC line will be a useful model for THC2 research.
