iPSCs & Missense Mutations/Variants

- https://syngap.fund/ipsc  

- https://www.syngapresearchfund.org/ips-cell-models

- 30 lines, 3 missense on the list, 1 more in Europe I know about

- I urge you to raise for cell lines if you are a missense.  $4k for a line, $7k for an isogenic control, $11k to make sure a mutation has a chance to be studied.  30% risk on the first line.

 

There is so much work to do, volunteer
