Generation of human induced pluripotent stem cell line, KRIBBi003-A, from urinary cells of a patient with glycogen storage disease type IXa.

ABSTRACT

Glycogen storage disease type IXa (GSD IXa) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by phosphorylase kinase (PhK) deficiency, which leads to excessive glycogen accumulation in the liver. Urinary cells (UCs) were isolated from a GSD IXa patient and reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) using Sendai virus. The established iPSC line, KRIBBi003-A, exhibited pluripotency marker expression and a normal karyotype. The differentiation capacity of the cell line was confirmed by the differentiation of the three germ layers in vitro. The established iPSC line is a potential useful resource for disease modeling of GSD IXa.
