Genome-wide CRISPRi screen in human iNeurons identifies novel negative mTOR regulator genes associated with focal cortical dysplasia.
Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is a common cause of focal epilepsy that typically results from brain mosaic mutations in the mTOR cell signaling pathway. To identify new potential FCD genes, we developed an in vitro CRISPRi screen in human neurons and used FACS enrichment based on the FCD biomarker, phosphorylated S6 r...
