Abstract

Familial Dysautonomia (FD) is an autosomal recessive congenital neuropathy affecting the development and function of the peripheral nervous system. FD causing gene is IKBKAP, encoding IkappaB kinase complex-associated protein also named elongator complex like protein 1 (IKAP/ELP1). The most common mutation (IVS20 + 6 T > C) causes an exon 20 skipping, leading to a truncated protein. We report the generation of two induced pluripotent stem cell lines from an FD patient with a homozygous mutation in ELP1 and his heterozygous healthy family relative. Both lines highly express pluripotency markers, can differentiate into the three germ layers, retain the disease-causing mutation and display normal karyotypes.
