Schizophrenia is a group of common psychosis of unknown etiology and GRIN2A gene has been a risk gene for schizophrenia. In order to understand the relationship between the GRIN2A and schizophrenia, we generated a GRIN2A-KO human embryonic stem cell line by CRISPR/Cas9 system, which could provide a valuable resource for investing pathogenic mechanisms underlying schizophrenia and facilitating the development of targeted medicine.
