Abstract excerpt
Marfan Syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder caused by mutations in the FBN1 gene. To investigate the molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis for the syndrome, we genetically modified the FBN1 gene in a line of induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) derived from a healthy donor using the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology. The sublines described here were characterized according to...
