We have generated two induced pluripotent stem cell lines FAMRCi006-A and FAMRCi006-B from a patient carrying LMNA p. p.Arg527Pro mutation associated with Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy. Patient-specific peripheral blood mononuclear cells were reprogrammed to iPSCs using Sendai virus reprogramming system. Characterization of iPSCs had revealed pluripotency marker expression, normal karyotype, ability to differentiate into three embryonic germ layers. The reported iPSC lines could be a useful tool for in vitro modeling of laminopathies associated with LMNA genetic variants.
