PINK1 Edited iPSC Lines
Human iPS Cell
KOLF2.1J human iPSC line with CRISPR-engineered mutations in PINK1, including heterozygous and homozygous P399L and A217D mutations. These lines were generated within the iPSC Neurodegeneration Initiative for Parkinson’s Disease (iNDI-PD) which is supported by Aligning Science Across Parkinson's (ASAP). *Heterozygous and homozygous L347P mutations are currently in development. Estimated Availability: Q1 2026.
TMEM175 Edited iPSC Lines
Human iPS Cell
KOLF2.1J human iPSC line with CRISPR-engineered mutations in TMEM175, including heterozygous and homozygous M393T mutations. These lines were generated within the iPSC Neurodegeneration Initiative for Parkinson’s Disease (iNDI-PD) which is supported by Aligning Science Across Parkinson's (ASAP). *Heterozygous and homozygous Q65P mutations are currently in development. Estimated Availability: Q1 2026.
SNCA Edited iPSC Lines
Human iPS Cell
KOLF2.1J human iPSC line with CRISPR-engineered mutations in SNCA, including heterozygous and homozygous A53T, A30P, E46K, and R219Q mutations. These lines were generated within the iPSC Neurodegeneration Initiative for Parkinson’s Disease (iNDI-PD) which is supported by Aligning Science Across Parkinson's (ASAP).
PRKN Edited iPSC Lines
Human iPS Cell
KOLF2.1J human iPSC line with CRISPR-engineered mutations in PRKN, including heterozygous and homozygous R275W, T240M, R42P, and P437L mutations. These lines were generated within the iPSC Neurodegeneration Initiative for Parkinson’s Disease (iNDI-PD) which is supported by Aligning Science Across Parkinson's (ASAP).
