Aniridia patient iPSCs were generated using non-integrating episomal reprogramming of dermal fibroblasts extracted from a skin biopsy from the patient’s arm, following established protocols.28 (link),53 (link) A minimum of 2 clonal lines were expanded and characterized as described previously.29 (link),53 (link) The control (WT) iPSCs used in this study have been published previously.53 (link) The H9 ESC line was obtained from WiCell (hPSCreg WAe009-A). All iPSC lines were maintained in mTESR Plus medium (STEMCELL Technologies, Canada) with 0.1% penicillin/streptomycin (Pen/Strep) on Matrigel-coated wells (1:100) (Corning, USA). For passaging, ReLESR (STEMCELL Technologies) was used for detaching, and after 24 h, iPSCs were fed daily with mTESR Plus until confluent.
