| Remarks |
The donor had a severe lack of subcutaneous fat at birth. Other clinical features included increased ventricle size, poor weight gain, small body with large head, sunken eyes, blue sclerae, wide open anterior fontanelle, no teeth, sparse scalp hair, and developmental delay. The lung biopsy was taken post-mortem. The culture was initiated on 11/21/86 using explants of minced lung tissue. The cell morphology is fibroblast-like. Culture passaged once at CCR and the PDL is unknown. A matching skin fibroblast culture from same donor is AG09233. |
