Derivation of two iPSC lines (KAIMRCi004-A, KAIMRCi004-B) from a Saudi patient with Biotin-Thiamine-responsive Basal Ganglia Disease (BTBGD) carrying homozygous pathogenic missense variant in the SCL19A3 gene.

ABSTRACT: The neurometabolic disorder known as biotin-thiamine-responsive basal ganglia disease (BTBGD) is a rare autosomal recessive condition linked to bi-allelic pathogenic mutations in the SLC19A3 gene. BTBGD is characterized by progressive encephalopathy, confusion, seizures, dysarthria, dystonia, and severe disabilities. Diagnosis is difficult due to the disease's rare nature and diverse clinical characteristics. The primary treatment for BTBGD at this time is thiamine and biotin supplementation, while its long-term effectiveness is still being investigated. In this study, we have generated two clones of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from a 10-year-old female BTBGD patient carrying a homozygous mutation for the pathogenic variant in exon 5 of the SLC19A3 gene, c.1264A > G (p.Thr422Ala
