Generation of human induced pluripotent stem cell lines with HMOX1 promoter polymorphism and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated deletion of exon 50 of DMD gene

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), originating from the lack of functional dystrophin, clinically manifests as devastating disease of skeletal muscles with progressive cardiac involvement. HMOX1 promoter polymorphism may reflect different activity of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) that may be critical for DMD progression.
