An iPSC-based experimental framework for investigating phenotypic variation associated with Jomon ancestry in the present-day Japanese population

Yuka Nakamura, Yusuke Watanabe, Hideyuki Tanabe, Asei Hirai, Koichi Higashi, Ken Kurokawa, Atsushi Toyoda, Tomoaki Kato, Masayoshi Tsukahara, Kae Koganebuchi, Yusuke Hamazaki, Takanori Takebe, Masanori Imamura, Takafumi Ishida, Jun Ohashi, Hiroki Oota

The paper develops a hiPSC-based framework to study ancestry-related phenotypic variation in the Japanese population, finding no hepatic triglyceride differences despite genetic associations.
