Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell line from a Brugada syndrome patient carrying SCN5A/c.3118G>C mutation.

Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a hereditary arrhythmia syndrome characterized by right bundle branch block on an electrocardiogram and persistent ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads. In this study, we describe the establishment of an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line derived from a BrS patient carrying the novel heterogeneous missense mutation (c.3118G>C; p.G1040R) in the sodium channel protein type 5 subunit alpha (SCN5A) gene. Skin fibroblasts underwent reprogramming using a non-integrated Sendai viral method. Generated iPSC line exhibited embryonic stem cell-like morphology, maintained a normal karyotype, expressed pluripotency markers, and demonstrated the capacity to differentiate into three germ layers.
