Abstract

Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are rare severe neurodevelopmental disorders with a cumulative incidence of 1:6.000 live births. Many epileptic conditions arise from single nucleotide variants in CACNA1A (calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 A), encoding the CaV2.1 calcium channel subunit. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are an optimal choice for modeling DEEs, as they can be differentiated in vitro into diverse neuronal subpopulations. Here, we report the generation of hiPSC lines with two pathogenic CACNA1A variants c.1767C > T, p. (Arg589Cys), referred to as R589C and c. 2139G > A, p.(Ala713Thr), referred to as A713T, previously associated with epilepsy. The variants were introduced into a hiPSC line from a healthy individual via CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology.
