| Summary: | Nemaline myopathy-2 (NEM2) is an autosomal recessive skeletal muscle disorder caused by mutations in the nebulin (NEB) gene. We report the generation and characterization of a human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line SDQLCHi017-A, derived from a 1-month-old patient with NEM2 carrying compound heterozygote mutations (c.6915+1G>T, c.14910+3G>C) in NEB gene. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were reprogrammed with non-integrating episomal vectors coding OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, BCL-XL and MYC. The established iPSC line contained the same mutations found in the patient, showed a normal karyotype, could differentiate into cells of three germ layers in vitro and expressed pluripotency markers. Keywords: iPSC, nemaline myopath-2, NEB gene, reprogramming
