Abstract:
We present two CRISPR/Cas9-modified human iPSC lines with a heterozygous frameshift mutation (NM_006662.3:c.7300_7301insA) in the FLHS-locus of the SRCAP gene, which is associated with Floating-Harbor syndrome, a congenital neurodevelopmental disorder with symptoms including short stature and intellectual disability. The iPSCs express the pluripotency markers OCT4, SOX2, NANOG and TRA 1-60. They show differentiation into cells from all 3 germ layers, no chromosomal abnormalities and no off-target mutations in the tested regions. The mutation leads to a stop codon previously found in patients. Thus, either cell line can serve as disease-specific model for studying SRCAP in the context of FLHS.
