| Remarks |
The donor does not admit to any problems with memory. His family has noticed a progressive change in personality as he has also manifested increasing difficulty with recent memory. His neurological exam was remarkable only for poor recent memory. The patient has refused further neurological evaluation. The culture was initiated on 11/05/85 by transformation of lymphocytes with Epstein Barr virus. The cells grow in suspension and their morphology is spherical. The karyotype is 46,XY,t(5;17)(5pter>5q35:: 17q21>17qter;17pter>17q21::5q35>5qter). A skin fibroblast culture from same donor is AG08523. The legacy karyotype description shown in this Remark may not be representative of the current available product. |
