Popis: Bi-allelic loss-of-function mutations in the gene encoding the motor protein KIF1C are associated with Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) type SPG58, a slowly progressive neurodegenerative motoneuron disease. The biological role of KIF1C is incompletely understood. We used a protein-based CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing approach to generate a homozygous KIF1C knock-out iPSC line (HIHRSi003-A-1) from a healthy control. This iPSC-KIF1C−/− line and the corresponding isogenic control are a useful model to study the physiological function of KIF1C and the pathophysiological consequences of KIF1C dysfunction in human disease.
