Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells, KCi002-A derived from a patient with Bardet-Biedl syndrome homozygous for the BBS10 variant c.271insT.

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is genetically heterogeneous with at least 21 genes involved, and BBS10 encodes, together with BBS6 and BBS12, chaperonin-like proteins which are important for the assembly of the multiprotein complex, the BBSome encoded by other BBS genes. Here we describe the successful generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line KCi002-A from a male with BBS, homozygous for the disease causing variant c.271insT, p.(Cys91fsX95) in BBS10.

Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells, KCi001-A derived from a Bardet-Biedl syndrome patient compound heterozygous for the BBS1 variants c.1169T>G/c.1135G>C.

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is an autosomal recessive ciliopathy with a wide range of symptoms including obesity, retinal dystrophy, polycystic kidney disease, polydactyly, hypogonadism and learning difficulties. Here we describe the successful generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) KCi001-A from a BBS patient compound heterozygous for two disease causing BBS1 variants c.1169T>G, p. (Met390Arg)/c.1135G>C, p.(Gly370Arg). Resource table.
