Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified many disease-associated variant alleles, but understanding whether and how different genes/loci interact requires a platform for probing how the variant alleles act mechanistically. Isogenic mutant human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) provide an unlimited resource to derive and study human disease-relevant cells. Here, we focused on CDKAL1, linked by GWASs to...
