Establishment and characterization of a human embryonic stem cell line carrying a heterozygous GATA4T280M mutation

Heterozygous T280M mutation in the GATA4 gene, encoding GATA binding protein 4, was recently identified in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Here, a human embryonic stem cell line carrying a heterozygous GATA4T280M mutation was generated by using the CRISPR/Cas9 and piggyBac technologies. This GATA4T280M cell line remains normal morphology, pluripotency and karyotype, and could differentiate into all three germ layers both in vivo...
