Abstract: The present invention involves methods for identifying an agent that corrects a phenotype associated with a health condition or a predisposition for a health condition. The invention also involves methods for identifying a diagnostic cellular phenotype, determining the risk of a health condition in a subject, methods for reducing the risk of drug toxicity in a human subject, and methods for identifying a candidate gene that contributes to a human disease. The invention also discloses human induced pluripotent stem cell lines.
