Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are adult cells that have been reprogrammed to an embryonic stem cell–like state. The cells can replicate indefinitely or, under controlled conditions, can be differentiated into any other cell type such as nerve, heart or liver cells. Medical researchers are able to use iPS cells to test how different patients might respond to new drugs or to analyse how genetic diseases develop.
The EBiSC stem cell bank, is a collection of human iPS cells available to academic and commercial researchers for use in disease modelling and other forms of stem cell research. The initial collection has been generated from a wide range of donors representing specific disease backgrounds and healthy controls. EBiSC has established many routine procedures for collecting, expanding and characterizing human iPS cell lines. The stem cell bank includes iPSC cell lines derived from neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimers Disease, Parkinsons Disease, Dementia, Motor Neuron Disease (ALS) - and Huntingtons Disease), eye and heart diseases, and lines from healthy control donors for age and sex matching.

Genetic ModificationDisease/phenotype related modifications
Disease: Parkinsons disease
Type of modification: Isogenic
Gene: SNCA
Chromosome location: 4q22.1
Target locus modification: This clone was picked in parallel to other Nickase pair targeted clones (EDi001-A2/A3 and A4) but no SNCA alleles were lost in this clone. Therefore all 4 alleles remain, and it retains the donor heterozygous triplication of SCNA.
Description: CRISPR/Cas was employed to create a mutation in Exon2, disrupting the ATG start site of SCNA. The site targeted for editing was sequenced for 8 clones; however, in these 8 clones, none of the sites had been modified. Therefore, it appears that the cell line had not been edited. The clone was not further examined for off-target modifications.
