This cell line is a modified version of the YZ1 iPS cell line (YZ1 is derived from IMR90 fibroblasts), engineered to induce a mutation of the DISC1 exon. This gene disruption segregates with schizophrenia and related psychiatric disorders.
**Upon testing, the current lot of material did not meet WiCell`s standards for quality, and it is therefore unavailable. WiCell is working with the Provider to obtain replacement materials for distribution.
