RBM20 mutations account for 3 % of genetic cardiomypathies and manifest with high penetrance and arrhythmogenic effects. Numerous mutations in the conserved RS domain have been described as causing dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), whereas a particular mutation (p.R634L) drives development of a different cardiac phenotype: left-ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy. We generated a mutation-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line in which the RBM20-LVNC mutation p.R634L was introduced into a DCM patient line with rescued RBM20-p.R634W mutation. These DCM-634L-iPSC can be differentiated into functional cardiomyocytes to test whether this RBM20 mutation induces development of the LVNC phenotype within the genetic context of a DCM patient.
