The skin fibroblasts were obtained from a 4-year-old boy, and were infected with Sendai virus expressing the Yamanaka factors. The YAHKMUi001-A iPSC line expresses pluripotent stem cell markers, displays a normal karyotype, and has the capacity to differentiate into 3 germ layers. This cell line model can be a good tool to study the pathological mechanism of the TBX1 gene mutations associated with TOF.
