| Remarks |
The donor is 50% at risk for Alzheimer's disease. Donor's deceased father, paternal grandfather, and paternal great grandfather were affected. The skin biopsy was taken ante-mortem from the forearm. Culture was initiated on 11/26/85 using explants of minced skin. The cell morphology is fibroblast-like. Culture was frozen at PDL 4. Donor's at-risk siblings are AG08026 Fibroblast and AG08440 Lymphoblast. |
