Generation of two induced pluripotent stem cell lines from Marfan syndrome patients carrying FBN1 mutations.

Marfan syndrome is a connective tissue disorder affecting the cardiovascular, skeletal, and ocular systems. Here, we generated and characterized induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines derived from two Marfan syndrome patients with mutations in the FBN1 gene (c.3333C > A and c.8854_8562delinsTATCAC). Both lines exhibited typical iPSC morphology, normal karyotype, undifferentiated states, and trilineage differentiation capacity. These iPSCs serve to enable investigation into the mechanisms underlying Marfan syndrome for therapeutic discovery.
