A human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was generated from dermal fibroblasts of a 21-fetal-week-old female patient with NPA that has a heterozygous mutation of a p.L302P variant (c.905 T > C) using non-integrating Sendai virus technique. This iPSC line offers a useful resource to study the disease pathophysiology and as a cell-based model for drug development to treat NPA.
