Generation of human induced pluripotent stem cell line MHHi029-A from a male Fabry disease patient carrying c.959A > T mutation

Fabry disease (FD) is a rare and inherited monogenetic disease caused by mutations in the X-chromosomal alpha-galactosidase A gene GLA concomitant with accumulation of its substrate globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) and multi-organ symptoms. We derived an induced pluripotent stem cell line, MHHi029-A, from a male FD patient carrying a c.959A > T missense mutation in the GLA gene. The hiPSCs show a normal karyotype, expression of pluripotency markers and trilineage differentiation capacity. Importantly, they present the patient-specific mutation in the GLA gene and are therefore a valuable resource for investigating the FD mechanism and identifying novel therapies.
