Efficient introduction of an isogenic homozygous mutation to induced pluripotent stem cells from a hereditary hearing loss family using CRISPR/Cas9 and single-stranded donor oligonucleotides

Abstract

Heterozygous and homozygous P2RX2-mutated hiPSC lines are good models to investigate the pathological mechanisms of P2RX2 mutations in HL pathogenesis. Our findings confirmed our hypothesis that it is feasible and convenient to introduce precise point mutations into genomic loci of interest to generate gene-mutated hiPSC models.
