In Vitro CRISPR/Cas9-Directed Gene Editing to Model LRRK2 G2019S Parkinson’s Disease in Common Marmosets
26 Feb 2020
Abstract excerpt
Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) G2019S is a relatively common mutation, associated with 1-3% of Parkinson's disease (PD) cases worldwide. G2019S is hypothesized to increase LRRK2 kinase activity. Dopaminergic neurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells of PD patients carrying LRRK2 G2019S are reported to have several phenotypes compared to wild type controls, including increased activated caspase-3...
