Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most prevalent genetic diseases affecting the kidneys. A genetically specific mutation model is required to comprehend its pathophysiology and to develop a drug treatment. In this study, we successfully developed human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) named MUi027-A from skin fibroblasts of a patient diagnosed with ADPKD and carrying the PKD1 frameshift mutation (c.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the common genetic kidney disorders that are caused by mutations in PKD1 or PKD2 gene. In this report, the MUi026-A human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line was established from the skin fibroblasts of a female ADPKD patient who had the PKD1 mutation with c.5878C > T.

Hemoglobin Constant Spring (HbCS, HBA2: c.427T>C) is a common nondeletional α-thalassemia resulting from a nucleotide substitution at the termination codon of the HBA2 gene. Homozygosity for HbCS is characterized with mild anemia, jaundice, and splenomegaly.

The thalassemias are a group of genetic disorders characterized by a deficiency in the synthesis of globin chains. In this study the MUi009-A human induced pluripotent stem cell line was successfully generated from peripheral blood CD34+ haematopoietic progenitors of a 32year old male who had coinherited a homozygous β°-thalassemia mutation at codon 41/42 (-TCTT) and a heterozygous α-thalassemia 4.2 deletion.
