Generation and characterization of iPSC lines (BCH001) from a boy with intron 14 mutation in the ret proto-oncogene (RET) gene

•There is an iPSC line from PBMCs isolated from a male patient clinically diagnosed with CCHS.•The iPSC lines carry a heterozygous RET mutation (c.2608-125C > T).•iPSC lines provide a useful resource to study the pathogenesis of CCHS. Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is characterized by an alteration of the ventilatory response to hypercapnia and hypoxia, and is classically presented in neonates with abnormalities of the autonomic nervous system. Here, we generated human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from a male patient clinically diagnosed with CCHS. These iPSC lines carry a heterozygous RET mutation (c.2608-125C > T), express pluripotency markers, have the capacity to differentiate into the normal teratoma tissue, retain the RET mutation and display the normal karyotype, which will also provide a useful resource to study the pathogenesis of CCHS.
