| Remarks |
This donor was initially diagnosed as Parkinson's disease because he exhibited a slowing of movements. Within 1 year he developed problems with attention span and memory. Further progression of intellectual impairment necessitated assistance with all activities of daily living. Treatment with anti-Parkinsonian medications did not help motor or intellectual function. EEG revealed general slowing. CSF exam was remarkable for an increase in protein concentration. CT scan demonstrated widened sulci and ventricular dilatation. Autopsy confirmed Alzheimer's disease. 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 culture is a mosaic with karyotype: 45,XY,dic(13;19)(p11.3;q13.4)/46,XY; unbalanced; 8%/92% with 6% of the cells examined showing random chromosome loss and 12% showing random chromosomal aberrations. A skin fibroblast culture from same donor is AG08527A. The legacy karyotype description shown in this Remark may not be representative of the current available product. |
