Establishment and characterization of two human pluripotent stem cell lines from patients with ATX-FGF14/spinocerebellar ataxia 27A (SCA27A).
Spinocerebellar ataxia 27A (SCA27A) is a rare inherited ataxia arising from heterozygous pathogenic loss-of-function variants in FGF14. Autosomal recessive FGF14-related cerebellar ataxia has also been reported in a single individual to date. Here, we describe the generation and characterization of human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines derived from two individuals with FGF14-related ataxia (ATX-FGF14): one with SCA27A and one with autosomal recessive disease. Given the predominantly neuronal expression of FGF14, these iPSC lines represent a valuable resource for investigating the cellular and molecular consequences of FGF14 deficiency in disease-relevant neuronal populations following directed differentiation.
