Hereditary diffuse leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids (HDLS) is a fatal adult-onset neurological disease caused by pathological variants in CSF1R (colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor). As microglia are primarily affected in HDLS, we developed an iPSC-derived microglia model to study CSF1R function in healthy and HDLS patient lines. Using this model, we propose to investigate novel CSF1R interactions using APEX2-based proximity labeling focusing on transcriptional regulation.
