Abstract
β-thalassemia (BT) is a hereditary blood disorder caused by mutations in the β-globin (HBB) gene leading to severely reduced or no synthesis of the β-chain of adult hemoglobin. IVS1-5 (G > C) is the most common BT mutation in Indian population and yet no patient-specific cellular models have been generated. Here, we have established an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line, IGIBi002-A from a thalassemia patient with a homozygous IVS1-5(G > C) mutation. Characterization of IGIBi002-A demonstrated that these iPSCs are free of exogenous reprogramming genes and expressed pluripotent stem cell markers, exhibited a normal karyotype and were potential of three germ layer differentiation.
