Generation of induced pluripotent stem cell lines from patients with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy.

Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) stems from pathogenic variants in LMNA. We generated two patient-specific iPSC lines from peripheral blood: SCVIi145-A carrying LMNA c.241T > C (p.Tyr81His) and SCVIi146-A carrying LMNA c.357-2A > G. Non-integrating Sendai reprogramming produced stable colonies that expressed undifferentiated human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) state markers, cleared vector RNA by passage 16, and showed normal copy-number profiles by low-pass whole-genome sequencing (LP-WGS). Both lines matched donor STR profiles and formed ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm in directed differentiation. These lines enable studies of lamin-associated nuclear defects and support cardiac and skeletal muscle disease modeling.
