Abstract
Bernard Soulier Syndrome (BSS) is a rare autosomal platelet disorder characterized by mutations in the von Willebrand factor platelet receptor complex GPIb-V-IX. In this work we have generated an induced pluripotent stem cell (BSS3-PBMC-iPS4F8) from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a BSS patient with a p.Phe55Ser mutation in the GPIX gene. Characterization of BSS3-PBMC-iPS4F8 showed that these cells maintained the original mutation present in the BSS patient, expressed pluripotent stem cell markers and were able to differentiate into the three germline layers. This new iPSC line will contribute to better understand the biology of BSS disease.
