X-linked hereditary Alport syndrome (XLAS) type 1 (OMIM: 301050) results from a pathogenic variant in the collagen type IV alpha 5 chain (COL4A5) gene.A human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a 7-year-old male patient with XLAS using non-integrating episomal vector technique. The male donor had a heterozygous variant in the COL4A5 gene. The resulting iPSC line has a standard karyotype, can express pluripotent biomarkers, and is able to create germ layers in vivo. It can serve as a valuable cellular model for investigating the underlying mechanisms of XLAS. Copyright © 2024 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
