Generation of iPSC lines (UMILi032-A, UMILi033-A, UMILi034-A, UMILi035-A, UMILi036-A) from five Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome patients carrying different poly-alanine expansion mutations in the PHOX2B gene

: Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS) is a rare, life-threatening genetic disorder of the autonomic nervous system characterized by alveolar hypoventilation and generalized dysautonomia. CCHS is caused by heterozygous PHOX2B mutations, predominantly polyalanine repeat expansion (95% of cases) and, less frequently, frameshift mutations (5%). To address the lack of disease models, we generated five human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines derived from patients carrying +5Ala, +6Ala and +11Ala expansion mutations. These hiPSC lines exhibited undifferentiated hPSC phenotype, pluripotency, normal karyotype, and retention of the pathogenic genotype, providing a reliable in vitro platform for elucidating CCHS molecular mechanisms and disease pathogenesis.
