Overview
Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is the most common chromosome aneuploidy in humans. Our laboratory recently established a unique cohort of KS-iPSCs carrying 47,XXY, 48,XXXY, and 49,XXXXY karyotypes. They apply a disease-modeling approach to investigate the molecular basis of the neurodevelopmental features associated with KS during differentiation of KS-iPSCs into neurons using the most advanced brain-organoids differentiation methods.
The selected candidates of the Dissecting the Molecular Basis of the Neurodevelopmental Features Associated with Klinefelter Syndrome (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST will combine human iPSC cultures and genome-editing (CRISPR-Cas9) techniques.
