Reprogramming of a human induced pluripotent stem cell line from a long QT syndrome patient harboring a heterozygous mutation of c.1537C > T in SCN5A gene.

Long QT syndrome (LQTS) often causes malignant arrhythmia and syncope. Mutations in the SCN5A gene are the main cause of type 3 LQTS. In this study, we generated a human induced pluripotent stem cell line ZJYYPHi001-A from a female LQTS patient harboring a heterozygous mutation in SCN5A using non-integrative Sendai virus. This cell line expressed pluripotency markers, had the normal karyotype and could differentiate into three germ layers in vitro.
