Generation of an iPSC line (IMAGINi022-A) from a patient carrying a SOX10 missense mutation and presenting with deafness, depigmentation and progressive neurological impairment

Mutations of SOX10 result in a broad range of phenotypes including Waardenburg syndrome (WS types 2 and 4) that can be found in association with peripheral demyelinating neuropathy and/or central dysmyelinating leukodystrophy. Here, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from a patient carrying a de novo heterozygous missense mutation in the SOX10 gene (MIM* 602229, NM006941.3c.523C > G; p.Pro175Ala) presenting with deafness, depigmentation and progressive neurological impairment. Cells were reprogrammed by non-integrative viral transduction from blood sample, have normal karyotype, express pluripotency markers and are able to differentiate into the three germ cell layers.
