The patient carries a heterozygous variation p.A53T in the SNCA gene. Skin fibroblasts were reprogrammed using the non-integrating Sendai virus technology to deliver OCT3/4, SOX2, c-MYC and KLF4 factors. The generated iPSC line (CSC-32) preserved the mutation, displayed expression of common pluripotency markers, differentiated into derivatives of the three germ layers, and exhibited a normal karyotype. The clone CSC-32B is presented thereafter; it can be used to study the mechanisms underlying PD pathogenesis.
