| Remarks |
The donor is 50% at risk for Alzheimer's disease. Donor's deceased father, paternal grandmother, and paternal great grandfather were affected. The skin biopsy was taken ante-mortem from the forearm. Culture was initiated on 8/14/86 using explants of minced skin. The cell morphology is fibroblast-like. Culture was frozen at PDL 5. A lymphoblast culture from same donor is AG09097. Donor's mother is AG09096 and her at-risk siblings are AG10278 and AG10279 Lymphoblast. |
