| Remarks |
The donor has denied symptoms of intellectual impairment. Collateral history from his wife revealed that he has had difficulty with recent memory, loss of interest, emotional lability, and trouble handling money. Neurological exam was remarkable for disorientation for date and poor memory. CSF exam was normal. CT scan showed evidence of slight cortical atrophy. The skin biopsy was taken ante-mortem from the forearm. Culture was initiated on 11/06/85 using explants of minced skin. The cell morphology is fibroblast-like. The culture is a mosaic with karyotype: 46,XY/46,XY,t(1;19)(1qter>1p34.1::19p13.3>19pter;19qter>19p13.3::1p34.1> 1pter); balanced; 84%/14% with 2% showing other abnormalities. Culture was frozen at PDL 5. A lymphoblast culture from same donor is AG08554. The legacy karyotype description shown in this Remark may not be representative of the current available product. |
