Abstract

The most prevalent form of epileptic encephalopathy is Dravet syndrome (DRVT), which is triggered by the pathogenic variant SCN1A in 80% of cases. iPSCs with different SCN1A mutations have been constructed by several groups to model DRVT syndrome. However, no studies involving DRVT-iPSCs with rare genetic variants have been conducted. Here, we established two DRVT-iPSC lines harboring a homozygous mutation in the CPLX1 gene and heterozygous mutation in SCN9A gene. Therefore, the derivation of these iPSC lines provides a unique cellular platform to dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying the cellular dysfunctions consequent to CPLX1 and SCN9A mutations.
