Alagille syndrome due to a JAG1 point mutation

Synonyms
Alagille syndrome 1; HEPATIC DUCTULAR HYPOPLASIA, SYNDROMATIC; JAG1-Related Alagille Syndrome

Summary

Excerpted from the GeneReview: Alagille Syndrome
Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is a multisystem disorder with a wide spectrum of clinical variability; this variability is seen even among individuals from the same family. The major clinical manifestations of ALGS are bile duct paucity on liver biopsy, cholestasis, congenital cardiac defects (primarily involving the pulmonary arteries), butterfly vertebrae, ophthalmologic abnormalities (most commonly posterior embryotoxon), and characteristic facial features. Renal abnormalities, growth failure, behavioral differences, splenomegaly, retinal changes, and vascular abnormalities may also occur.
