Mutations in RAB39B are a known cause of X-linked early onset Parkinson's disease. Isogenic human embryonic stem cell lines carrying two independent deletions of RAB39B were generated using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing tool. The deletions were confirmed by PCR and direct sequence analysis in two edited stem cell lines. Both cell lines showed pluripotency and displayed a normal karyotype. Further, they were able to form embryoid bodies in vitro, and express markers indicative of differentiation to the three germ layers.
RAB39B基因的突变是X连锁早发性帕金森病的已知病因。利用CRISPR/Cas9基因组编辑工具构建了携带两个独立RAB39B基因缺失的同基因人类胚胎干细胞系。通过PCR和直接序列分析在两个编辑后的干细胞系中证实了缺失。两个细胞系均显示出多能性且核型正常。此外,它们能够在体外形成胚状体,并表达指示向三个胚层分化的标志物。
