Abstract

Mutation in STING1gene, which encodes stimulator of type I IFN gene (STING) leads to its constitutive activation and thereby to a severe vasculopathy and sometimes a lupus-like disease. We generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from a patient carrying a rare heterozygous variant c.463G > A (resulting in a p.V155M substitution) in STING1. Cells from this patient, which were reprogrammed by non-integrative viral transduction, had normal karyotype, expressed pluripotency markers and were able to differentiate into the three germ cell layers.
