MIR5004 is located in the intronic region of SYNGAP1, a genetic risk factor for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), and co-expressed with SYNGAP1 in brain tissue, which indicates that MIR5004 may play an important role in ASD pathogenesis through the regulation of SYNGAP1. Here, we generated a MIR5004 knockout human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line SHCDCLi001-B. SHCDCLi001-B shows expression of pluripotent markers, three lineage differentiation capacity, normal morphology and karyotypes, the same DNA origin with wild type iPSC (iPSC-WT) and no off-target effects, making it as a valuable tool for studying the interplay between MIR5004 and SYNGAP1 in ASD pathogenesis.
