Abstract:Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is one of the most common genetic disorders caused by heterozygous germline NF1 mutations. NF1 affects many systems, including the skeletal system. To date, no curative therapies are available for skeletal manifestations such as scoliosis and tibial dysplasia, mainly due to the lack of knowledge about the mechanisms that underlie this process. By using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing in human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to minimize the variability due to genetic bac… Show more
