| Remarks |
The donor has had progressive impairment of memory attended by increasing difficulty in performing household chores. She has visuospatial disorientation and difficulty with expressive speech. Neurological exam revealed disorientation, problems following commands, and regressive reflexes. She also exhibited a decrease in associated movements, slight cogwheel rigidity, and bradykinesia. This patient also has almost continuous myoclonus. The skin biopsy was taken ante-mortem from the forearm. Culture was initiated on 12/10/85 using explants of minced skin. The cell morphology is fibroblast-like. The culture is a mosaic with karyotype: 46,XX/46,XX,t(1;21)(q21;p12),t(11;17)(p15.5;q11.2)/45,X; unbalanced; 82%/8%/6% with 4% random chromosomal abnormalities. Culture was frozen at PDL 14. The legacy karyotype description shown in this Remark may not be representative of the current available product. |
