Generation and characterization of twelve human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from four familial long QT Syndrome Type 1 (LQT1) patients carrying KCNQ1 c.1201dupC mutation

In this study, we describe the generation and characterization of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from familial long QT syndrome type 1 (LQT1) patients carrying the KCNQ1 c.1201dupC (p.Arg401fs) frame shift mutation by using non-integrational Sendai reprogramming method. The patient-specific iPSC lines harbouring the c.1201dupC mutation on KCNQ1 gene expressed pluripotency markers and had the capacity to differentiate into three germ layers.
