We created a model of Lesch-Nyhan syndrome by gene targeting of the HPRT1 gene (NM_000194) [16], and a model of Fragile X syndrome by deriving a new HESC line from an affected blastocyst identified by preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) to carry fragile X syndrome [17]. Here, HPRT1 is linked to fragile X syndrome.
