Interrogation of the Atherosclerosis-Associated SORT1 (Sortilin 1) Locus With Primary Human Hepatocytes, Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Hepatocytes, and Locus-Humanized Mice.

CONCLUSIONS: The rs12740374 minor allele sequence enhances SORT1 expression in hepatocytes. CRISPR-Cas9 can be used in primary human hepatocytes ex vivo and locus-humanized mice in vivo to interrogate the function of noncoding regulatory regions. induced pluripotent stem cell-derived hepatocyte-like cells experience limitations that prevent faithful modelling of some hepatocyte expression quantitative trait locus.
