Remarks |
Donor showed loss of subcutaneous fat, a beak nose, osteoarthritis, venous prominence, and an elevated urinary glucosaminoglycan level, but no alopecia. Low weight and dislocated hips present at birth. Marfan features have also developed. The biopsy was taken ante-mortem on 10/25/85. The culture was initiated using explants of minced gingival tissue. The cell morphology is fibroblast-like. A skin fibroblast culture from same donor is AG08466. |
