Laboratory study demonstrates generation of a pluripotent stem cell line in a Kabuki syndrome 1 patient, suggesting a new tool for disease modeling.
Kabuki syndrome 1 is a rare genetic disorder typically characterized by facial abnormalities, cognitive impairment, developmental delay and organ dysfunction. It is caused by a loss-of-function mutation in the KMT2D gene. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells from a patient carrying frameshift mutation in the KMT2D gene were reprogrammed using the CytoTune-iPS2.0 Sendai Reprogramming Kit. This frameshift mutation results in a truncated protein. This established human induced pluripotent cell line will allow proper in vitro disease modelling of Kabuki syndrome 1.
