Abstract

Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) can be caused by mutations in more than 20 different genes. One of these, RPE65, encodes a protein essential for the visual cycle that is expressed in retinal pigment epithelium cells. In this work, we describe the generation and characterization of the human iPSC line SCTCi16-A. This hiPSC line was generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from a patient affected with LCA caused by the homozygous c.11+5G>A variant in the RPE65 gene. Reprograming was conducted using episomal vectors containing OCT3/4, SOX2, KLF4, L-MYC, and LIN28.
