Abstract

Primary Hyperoxaluria Type I (PH1) is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder characterized by defects in enzymes involved in glyoxylate metabolism. PH1 is a life-threatening disease caused by the absence, deficiency or mistargeting of the hepatic alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT) enzyme.

A human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was generated from dermal fibroblasts of a PH1 patient being compound heterozygous for the most common mutation c.508G>A (G170R), a mistargeting mutation, and c.364C>T (R122*), a previously reported nonsense mutation in AGTX.

This iPSC line offers a useful resource to study the disease pathophysiology and a cell-based model for drug development.
