Abstract
Congenital hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH) is the most frequent cause of persistent and recurrent hypoglycemia. Peripheral mononuclear blood cells (PBMCs) from a patient diagnosed with HH, alongside autism-spectrum-disorder (ASD), carrying a heterozygous c.812 T>A (L271H) mutation in the voltage-gated calcium channel subunit Cav1.3-encoding gene CACNA1D, were reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). The CACNA1D L271H iPSC (IBKMOLi002-A) exhibit a normal karyotype, high expression of pluripotency-associated markers and the capacity to differentiate into cells of all three germ layers. We provide a novel patient-specific iPSC line, allowing to study HH, ASD, the associated neurodevelopmental disorder as well as CACNA1D-associated channelopathies in general.
