Abstract
Hearing loss is one of the most common sensory disorders. TMEM43 is expressed in cochlear glia-like supporting cells (GLSs) and is known to be associated with late-onset auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) and progressive hearing loss. Here, we describe the derivation of an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from a patient lymphoblastoid cell line (LCL) carrying a single heterozygous nonsense variant (p.Arg372Ter (c.1114C > T)) in TMEM43 that leads to a truncated protein lacking the 4th transmembrane domain. This cell line can serve as a tool for disease modelling and development of therapeutic approaches to restore inner ear function.
