Genes associated with kidney diseases are expressed in expected compartments across organoids from four human iPSC lines. Heatmap of cell-type-specific gene expression (ThF line, ML protocol) in organoids and human adult kidney. Genes implicated in monogenic causes of a congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT), and b mendelian renal cystic diseases and tumor syndromes. c IF staining validates the expression of MUC1 and PAX2 in the distal tubule in D29 kidney organoids. CDH1 serves a distal tubular marker. Note appropriate apical expression of MUC1 in distal tubular epithelial cells.
