Age-related increases in the frequencies of cells with chromosome 21 loss and of polyploid cells were documented in short-term peripheral blood lymphocyte cultures from 54 patients with Down's syndrome (DS), ages 0 to 48 years. The polyploid data, together with previous work from this laboratory with non-DS subjects, suggest that this may be a useful indicator of aging in lymphocytes.
在54名年龄从0岁到48岁的唐氏综合征(DS)患者的短期外周血淋巴细胞培养物中,记录到21号染色体缺失细胞和多倍体细胞频率随年龄增长而增加。多倍体数据,连同本实验室之前对非唐氏综合征受试者的研究结果表明,这可能是淋巴细胞衰老的一个有用指标。
