Generation of corrected-hiPSC (USTCi001-A-1) from epilepsy patient iPSCs using TALEN-mediated editing of the SCN1A gene.
2020
Dravet syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by treatment-resistant polymorphic seizures, primarily caused by loss-of-function in the SCN1A gene. To develop an in vitro model of this disease, in a previously study we generated an induced pluripotent stem cell line from a 10-year-old boy carrying the NM_001165963.1:c.5768A to G (Q1923R) mutation in SCN1A. Using TALEN-mediated genome editing, we have now generated an isogenic control line in which the disease-causing mutation found in the epilepsy patient iPSCs was corrected, in order to eliminate the interference of different genetic backgrounds in future analyses.
