Induced pluripotent stem cell models of cardiomyopathies associated with inborn errors of metabolism

Disease Year (Ref) Specific mutation iPSC-CM in vitro phenotype Cardiac muscle clinical phenotype
Glycogen Storage disorder
Pompe Disease (Type II) 2011 (17) Unspecified GAA gene mutations Lysosomal glycogen accumulation; increased autophagosome structures; mitochondrial dysfunction Hypertrophy, hyperdynamic systolic function with outflow obstruction
2014 (18) Compound heterozygote mutations: [del ex18] exon 18 deletion and [del525T] single nucleotide exon 2 deletion in GAA gene
Compound heterozygote mutation: (IVS1-13T>G) and deletion of exon 18 in GAA gene
Elevated lysosomal glycogen; larger glycogen granules observed in infantile compared to late onset PD iPSC-CMs
2015 (19) Homozygous exon 18 deletion in GAA
Heterozygous exon 18 deletion in GAA
Lysosomal glycogen accumulation; autophagic dysfunction - autophagosome accumulation and higher electrophoretic mobility of lysosome-associated membrane proteins
2015 (20) Heterozygous mutation c.796C>T and c.1316T>A in GAA Lysosomal glycogen accumulation
Danon Disease (Type IIb) 2015 (21) 2 base pair insertion in exon 2 of LAMP-2 gene (129-130 insAT)
Single point mutation in intron 1 of LAMP-2 gene (IVS-1 c.64+1 G>A)
Increased early autophagic vacuoles, lack of mature autophagic vacuoles; Heart failure feature: cellular hypertrophy; Oxidative stress features: fragmented, short mitochondria, poor mitochondrial network Hypertrophy, reduced ejection fraction, and altered calcium handling consistent with heart failure
Mitochondrial disease
Barth Syndrome 2011 (22) Missense mutation in TAZ1 gene (590G>T)
Splice site mutation in TAZ1 gene (110-1AG>AC)
Missense mutation in TAZ1 (170G>T)
Impaired cardiolipin remodeling: absent mature CL and accumulation of precursor, MLCL; decreased respiratory chain supercomplex formation; altered mitochondrial oxygen consumption; increased ROS
CM differentiation unsuccessful due to cell death
Dilated cardiomyopathy
2014 (23) Frameshift mutation in TAZ gene (c.517delgG)
Missense mutation in TAZ gene (c.328T>C)
Impaired cardiolipin remodeling; lower ATP levels; impaired sarcomerogenesis; defective contractility
Lysosomal storage disease
Fabry disease 2013 (24) Hemizygous mutation in exon 3 of GLA gene c.485G>A Membranous cytoplasmic bodies in lysosomes
CM differentiation unsuccessful due to cell death
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, left ventricular hypertrophy, systolic and diastolic dysfunction, arrhythmias
2014 (25) Hemizygous mutation in exon 3 of GLA gene c.485G>A
Hemizygous mutation in exon 5 of GLA gene c.658C>T
Lysosomal globotriaosylceramide accumulation; electron dense storage inclusions (zebra bodies); disorganized contractile fibers with peripheral localization
