Description
This induced pluripotent stem cell line was derived by using episomal vectors to reprogram dermal fibroblasts from a male Usher Syndrome type 1B (USH1B) patient. LEIi020-B is described as having a 1MB duplication in chromosome 8p21.2 and a homozygous variant in the MYO7A gene. This duplication and variant were also present in the donor fibroblasts. Expression of OCT4, NANOG, SOX2, MYC and SSEA-4 in undifferentiated cells and in vitro spontaneous differentiation to endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm have been reported.
