Abstract
Pathogenic bi-allelic variants in the SPG11 gene result in rare motor neuron disorders such as Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia type 11, Charcot-Marie Tooth, and Juvenile Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis-5. The main challenge in SPG11-linked disease research is the lack of antibodies against SPG11 encoded spatacsin. Here, we describe the CRISPR/Cas9 mediated generation and validation of an endogenously tagged SPG11- human iPSC line that contains an HA tag at the C-terminus of SPG11. The line exhibits multi-lineage differentiation potential and holds promise for studying the role of spatacsin and for the elucidation of SPG11-associated pathogenesis. Resource Table.
