RESUMO
Usher syndrome (USH) is the most common cause of inherited deaf-blindness. Here, we produced the LEIi020-A and LEIi020-B induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from dermal fibroblasts derived from a patient with USH1B caused by inheritance of homozygous c.496del variants in MYO7A using episomal plasmids encoding OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, L-MYC, LIN28, mir302/367 microRNA and shRNA for TP53. Both iPSC lines expressed pluripotency markers, demonstrated trilineage differentiation potential and displayed a 46,XY karyotype. These cell lines represent a valuable resource for the production of retinal and otic tissues to support research into the pathogenesis and treatment of USH1B.
