Abstract

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited cardiac disease characterized by arrhythmias, risk of sudden cardiac death, and progressive fibro-fatty replacement in the myocardium. DSG2, encoding the desmosomal protein desmoglein-2, is one of the most frequently mutated genes in patients with ACM. We generated human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) from epithelial renal cells of one ACM patient carrying the heterozygous nonsense DSG2 c.1672C > T mutation. The generated hiPSCs showed normal karyotype, expression of pluripotency markers, and trilineage differentiation potential. The reported line (UNIPDi006-A) might represent a useful tool for in vitro modeling of ACM.
