Generation and characterization of an isogenic gene-corrected iPSC line CARIMi009-A-1 from a Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) patient with a heterozygous G608G mutation in the LMNA gene.

Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is an ultra-rare systemic laminopathy caused by a heterozygous point mutation in the LMNA gene encoding Lamin A/C (c.1824C > T, p.G608G). This synonymous mutation causes the production of a toxic form of Lamin A called Progerin. Integration of Progerin within the nuclear lamina disrupts cellular processes such as chromatin organization and gene transcription. Here we generated and characterized the induced isogenic pluripotency stem cell control line generated by correcting the c.1824C > T mutation. Used together with its parental line, this isogenic line excludes differences in genetic background while studying the pathophysiology of HGPS.
