CRISPR/Cas9 engineered and whole-genome characterized KIT D816V-mutant human iPSC lines

We report on the generation of human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines, BIHi005-A-86 and BIHi005-A-87, carrying the KIT D816V mutation associated with Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis (ISM). To overcome the confounding genetic backgrounds of existing leukemic models, we introduced this gain-of-function mutation into the healthy BIHi005-A line using CRISPR/Cas9 editing. The resulting clones were validated via whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to confirm specific on-target editing and lack of predicted or disease-relevant off-target effects, while maintaining genomic stability. Together with the parental line, this resource provides an isogenic controlled platform for investigating KIT D816V-driven pathogenesis
