Abstract
FHL1 gene locates in the Xq26 region and encodes for four and half LIM domain protein 1. It plays a crucial role in muscle cells and mutations in FHL1 are related to muscular dystrophy (MD). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from 2 family patients with MD that carry a pathogenic missense mutation in FHL1 (c.377G > A, p.C126Y). Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were generated by PBMCs reprogramming using the lentiviral-hSTEMCCA-loxP vector, obtaining FHL1-T and FHL1-V iPSCs lines from patients. FHL1 genotype was maintained, and stemness and pluripotency were confirmed in both iPSCs lines.
