RESUMEN
Biallelic pathogenic variants in ALDH7A1 are associated with pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE). ALDH7A1 encodes for the third enzyme of the lysine catabolism pathway. In this study a human isogenic ALDH7A1 knock-out iPSC line was created using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. One clone (SCTCi019-B) with biallelic deletions in ALDH7A1 was obtained and fully characterized, showing expression of pluripotency markers, a normal karyotype and no off-targets. Human-based models derived from this iPSC line will contribute to gain insights in the molecular mechanism of disease underlying PDE.

GCDH encodes for the enzyme catalyzing the sixth step of the lysine catabolism pathway. Biallelic pathogenic variants in GCDH have been associated with glutaric aciduria type 1 (GA1). In this study CRISPR/Cas9 technology was used to create an isogenic GCDH knock-out human iPSC line. One clone with a biallelic deletion (SCTCi019-A) in GCDH was obtained and fully characterized, revealing a normal karyotype, no off-targets detected and expression of pluripotency markers. This iPSC line can contribute to gain insights in the molecular mechanism of disease.
