Generation of a human induced pluripotent stem cell line (SMUSHi001-A) from a patient with 46, XX male sex reversal syndrome carrying the SRY gene.

The 46, XX male sex reversal syndrome (SRS) is a rare disease with a gender dysplasia phenotype. Scientists concur that SRS is associated with translocation of the sex-determining region Y gene (SRY). We obtained peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)from an 18-year-old male with SRS to generate an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line (SMUSHi001-A). Karyotyping analysis of the patient PBMCs revealed a normal 46, XX karyotype carrying the SRY gene. Pluripotent markers were successfully detected in SMUSHi001-A which can be differentiated into three germ layers in vitro. This cell line will provide a cell model for exploring the pathogenesis and potential therapeutic methods of SRS.
