Generation of human induced pluripotent stem cell line from peripheral blood of patient with lymphedema-distichiasis syndrome

Lymphedema-distichiasis syndrome (LDS) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder associated with mutations in forkhead box C2 (FOXC2) gene, critical for lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) differentiation. LDS patients suffer from swelling of limbs (lymphedema) due to excessive lymph accumulation and a...

Description
Summary:Lymphedema-distichiasis syndrome (LDS) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder associated with mutations in forkhead box C2 (FOXC2) gene, critical for lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) differentiation. LDS patients suffer from swelling of limbs (lymphedema) due to excessive lymph accumulation and are characterized by the presence of additional row of eyelashes (distichiasis). Here, we generated human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) from LDS patient-derived peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). LDS hiPSC line allows in vitro modeling and investigation of the molecular mechanisms of LDS upon differentiation towards LEC.
