| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the PRKDC, one of the causative genes for microcephaly, in neurogenesis. As human gene-knockout iPS cells are useful in understanding disease mechanisms, we established the protocol for generation of human gene-knockout iPS cells using a plasmid-based targeting vector.
