Popis: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common retinal degeneration in humans and is characterized by the progressive degeneration of rods and cones and retinal pigment epithelium. We generated the IOCVi001-A induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from dermal fibroblast of a patient with a homozygous c.498_499insC (p.(Asn167Glnfs⁎34) variant in the Membrane-type frizzled related protein (MFRP) gene, a genetic defect causing a syndrome characterized by RP and small eye size (nanophthalmos). IOCVi001-A displayed normal stemness, expressed pluripotent stem cell markers and displayed a normal karyotype. This iPSC line can be used for in vitro disease modeling for complex forms of RP.
