Abstract

Cardiomyocytes differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are powerful tools for elucidating the pathology behind inherited cardiomyopathies. Genome editing technologies enable targeted genome replacement and the generation of isogenic hiPSCs, allowing investigators to precisely determine the roles of identified mutations. Here, we describe a protocol to obtain isogenic hiPSCs with the corrected allele via homology-directed repair (HDR) using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing under feeder-free conditions. Seeding hiPSCs in a 24-well plate and conducting the initial evaluation using direct genomic sequencing after 1week is cost- and time-effective. Following optimization of the protocol, sequence confirmation of the corrected HDR clone is completed within 21days.
