Generation of four iPSC lines from a family harboring a 1p36-35 haplotype linked with bipolar disorder and recurrent depressive disorder: Three-generation patients and a healthy sibling.

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) obtained from genetically characterized patients benefit the biological study of bipolar disorder (BD). Here, we present iPSC lines from three-generation patients with BD and recurrent depressive disorder (RDD) and a healthy control sibling in a family. All patients shared the specified haplotype in the 1p36-35, previously reported as the susceptibility locus of mood disorders. iPSCs were generated with the reprogramming factors OTC3/4, l-MYC, LIN28, SOX2, KLF4, and p53 shRNA through non-integrated episomal vectors. All iPSC lines strongly expressed pluripotency markers and proved the ability to differentiate into three germ lineages in vitro.
