Popis: Sanfilippo C syndrome (Mucopolysaccharidosis IIIC) is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the HGSNAT gene. It is characterized by a progressive and severe neurodegeneration, for which there is no treatment available. Here, we report the generation of two HGSNAT-mutated cell lines from a healthy human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line using CRISPR/Cas9 editing. These novel cell lines have a normal karyotype, express pluripotency specific markers and have the capability to differentiate into all three germ layers in vitro. These hiPSC lines will be useful for the generation of in vitro models of Sanfilippo C syndrome.
