Disease-related cells differentiated from patient-derived iPSCs are useful for elucidating the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these diseases. In this study, four iPSC lines were established from independent patients with sensorineural hearing loss and a mutation in EYA4. These iPSCs showed pluripotency, the capacity to differentiate into three germ layers, and normal karyotypes, suggesting that these lines are useful for the pathological study of sensorineural hearing loss and drug screening for ear disorders.
