Establishment of three Joubert syndrome-derived induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines harbouring compound heterozygous mutations in CC2D2A gene

We have developed Joubert syndrome (JS)-derived induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from dermal fibroblasts biopsied from a female patient harbouring novel compound heterozygous mutations in CC2D2A gene. The newly established iPSC lines provide tremendous promises for development of JS-derived neuronal cell lines to uncover the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of JS and to develop therapeutic interventions for treatment of JS.
