| Remarks |
The donor had features of short stature, bird-like appearance, gray hair, skin hyperpigmentation, juvenile bilateral cataracts, atrophic skin and subcutaneous tissue, diabetes and hypogonadism. The family history is negative, but parents are consanguineous. The biopsy was taken ante-mortem and stored frozen. The culture was initiated on 11/12/92 using explants of minced skin tissue. The cell morphology is fibroblast-like. Same donor as AG05233A. |
