The Generation of Human iPSC Lines from Three Individuals with Dravet Syndrome and Characterization of Neural Differentiation Markers in iPSC-Derived Ventral Forebrain Organoid Model

Dravet syndrome (DRVT) is a rare form of neurodevelopmental disorder with a high risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), caused mainly (>80% cases) by mutations in the <i>SCN1A</i> gene, coding the Nav1.1 protein (alfa-subunit of voltage-sensitive sodium channel). Mutatio...

description Dravet syndrome (DRVT) is a rare form of neurodevelopmental disorder with a high risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), caused mainly (>80% cases) by mutations in the <i>SCN1A</i> gene, coding the Nav1.1 protein (alfa-subunit of voltage-sensitive sodium channel). Mutations in <i>SCN1A</i> are linked to heterogenous epileptic phenotypes of various types, severity, and patient prognosis. Here we generated iPSC lines from fibroblasts obtained from three individuals affected with DRVT carrying distinct mutations in the <i>SCN1A</i> gene (nonsense mutation p.Ser1516*, missense mutation p.Arg1596His, and splicing mutation c.2589+2dupT). The iPSC lines, generated with the non-integrative approach, retained the distinct <i>SCN1A</i> gene mutation of the donor fibroblasts and were characterized by confirming the expression of the pluripotency markers, the three-germ layer differentiation potential, the absence of exogenous vector expression, and a normal karyotype. The generated iPSC lines were used to establish ventral forebrain organoids, the most affected type of neurons in the pathology of DRVT. The DRVT organoid model will provide an additional resource for deciphering the pathology behind Nav1.1 haploinsufficiency and drug screening to remediate the functional deficits associated with the disease.
