Abstract
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a heart muscle disease that causes heart failure and is the leading cause for heart transplantation. It is a heart muscle disease resulted from a variety of genetics, toxic, metabolic, and infectious causes. One of the most prevalent genetic causes of DCM is a protein-truncating variant in the Titin gene (TTNtv). We have generated a human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line from patients who underwent heart transplantation due to DCM carrying a TTNtv mutation (c.70051C > T, p.Arg23351Ter) at the age of 20. The generated hiPSCs showed normal karyotype (46, XY) and expression of pluripotency markers, and were differentiated towards cardiomyocytes successfully.
