Abstract
Generation of proper models for studying human genetic diseases has been hindered until recently by the scarcity of primary cell samples from genetic disease patients and inefficient genetic modification tools. However, recent advances in clustered, regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 technology and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) have provided an opportunity to explore the function of pathogenic variants and obtain gene-corrected cells for autologous cell therapy. In this chapter, we address recent applications of CRISPR/Cas9 to hiPSCs in genetic diseases, including neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, and rare diseases.
