| Remarks |
The donor admits to occasional problems with memory, collateral family history indicates a progressive deterioration in psychosocial function attended by an increase in intellectual impairment. Neurological exams have shown changes in his mental status characterized by disorientation to time, poor recent memory, dyscalculia, and decreased attention span. EEG and CSF exams were normal. MRI scan revealed diffuse cerebral atrophy. The skin biopsy was taken ante-mortem from the forearm. Culture was initiated on 10/10/85 using explants of minced skin. The cell morphology is fibroblast-like. Culture was frozen at PDL 2. A lymphoblast culture from same donor is AG08445. |
