Abstract
Human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) were obtained by skin punch biopsy from a 51-year old man with suspected Fabry disease (FD), carrying the hemizygous c.376A > G variant in the α-galactosidase A gene (GLA). Cultured HDF were reprogrammed to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) using a non-modified RNA-based transfection protocol. GLA-S126G-iPSC exhibit typical embryonic stem cell-like morphology, normal karyotype, expression of all tested pluripotency markers, and three germ layer differentiation potential. We provide a novel patient-specific cell line that can be used to investigate a genetic variation of yet unknown significance.
