Cell Line Collection: APOE

The APOE gene encoding for Apolipoprotein E is a critical risk gene for developing Alzheimer’s disease. By combining iPSC and CRISPR/Cas9 technology, EBiSC, in collaboration with IMI-ADAPTED, is able to provide a set of isogenic iPSC lines with either an APOE KO, an APOE-ε2/ε2, an APOE-ε3/ε3, an APOE-ε3/ε4 or an APOE-ε4/ε4 genotype, which could help in dissecting the contribution of each genetic APOE variant to the risk or protection of developing AD. Isogenic lines are available from healthy male and female iPSCs and also Alzheimer affected male and female iPSCs. Ref list: PMID: 30660866, PMID: 33556820
