Abstract

An efficient one-step procedure to reprogram fibroblasts into human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) and perform CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing simultaneously was recently reported. Here we show that such simultaneous reprogramming and gene editing can be efficiently done from erythroblasts. We successfully obtained human induced pluripotent stem cells colonies together with in frame and out of frame CAPN1 mutations in one or both alleles. We did not identify off-targets in edited cell lines. The entire process, from blood collection to mutated hiPSC took approximately 5 weeks, a much shorter period than standard multi-step methodologies using fibroblasts. Noteworthy, blood drawing is a less invasive procedure than a skin biopsy. (AU)
