Generation of two induced pluripotent stem cell lines from patients with X-linked Alport syndrome

Mutations in COL4A5 on chromosome Xq22 cause X-linked Alport syndrome (XLAS). In this study, we generated two human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from two male patients carrying mutation c.796C > T (p.R266X) in COL4A5 gene. The two iPSC lines retain the original mutation, possess normal karyotypes, express pluripotency markers and bear differentiation potential.
