Abstract
Bernard Soulier Syndrome (BSS) is an inherited rare platelet disorder characterized by mutations in the platelet glycoprotein complex GPIb-IX-V. We generated an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from a BSS patient with a mutation p.Asn45Ser in the GPIX locus (BSS2-PBMC-iPS4F24). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were reprogrammed using non-integrative viral transduction. Characterization of BSS2-PBMC-iPS4F24 included mutational analysis of GPIX locus, analysis of conventional pluripotency-associated factors at mRNA and protein level and in vitro and in vivo differentiation studies. This iPSC line will provide a powerful tool to study the biology of BSS disease.
