Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell line (TRNDi004-I) from a Niemann-Pick disease type B patient carrying a heterozygous mutation of p.L43_A44delLA in the SMPD1 gene

Niemann-Pick disease type B (NPB) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the SMPD1 gene, which encodes for acid sphingomyelinase. A human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was generated from dermal fibroblasts of a 1-year old male patient with NPB that has a heterozygous mutation of a p.L43_A44delLA of SMPD1 using non-integrating Sendai virus technique. This iPSC line offers a useful resource to study the disease pathophysiology and as a cell-based model for drug development to treat NPB.
