Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the CYFIP2 gene, particularly the R87C variant, are associated with severe epileptic encephalopathy, and present challenges for therapeutic development. This study utilized CRISPR/Cas9-edited human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) lines to investigate the impact of R87C variant on neuronal morphology and function. hPSCs were differentiated into neural progenitor cells (NPCs), cortical neurons (CNs), and...
