| Remarks |
The biopsy site is the mesial aspect of the mid-upper left arm, taken antemortem. The primary culture was initiated from explants of a 2 mm-punch biopsy. The cell morphology is fibroblast-like and the culture is a mosaic with karyotype: 46,XX/46,XX,add(13)(q34); 96%/4% with 2% of the cells examined showing random chromosome loss. A culture initiated from a biopsy taken 15 years earlier from this same donor is AG05245. The legacy karyotype description shown in this Remark may not be representative of the current available product. |
