Generates isogenic control iPSC lines and confirms mutation correction in Parkinson’s disease, suggesting potential for further research.
The pathogenic mutation VPS35 p.D620N has been identified to cause autosomal dominant, late-onset Parkinson’s disease (PD) in multiple individuals and families worldwide. Here, we describe the generation of two new isogenic control lines (LCSBi001-A-2 and LCSBi001-A-3) from an already established patient-derived line (LCSBi001-A) carrying the heterozygous VPS35 p.D620N mutation. The control lines were generated with CRISPR/Cas9 technology, and the correction of the mutation was verified with Sanger sequencing. Both lines express pluripotency markers, are capable of in vitro differentiation into the three germ layers, and have a normal karyotype. The mutant and control iPSC lines are available for research purposes.
