It is characterized by insufficient passage of bile due to a lower than normal number of bile ducts inside the liver. In some cases, the child may be born with no bile ducts. Major symptoms include prolonged yellow skin discoloration (jaundice), eye and heart structure anomalies, abnormally shaped vertebrae of the spine, compression of nerve space inside the lower spine, an absence of deep tendon reflexes, mental deficiency, facial and kidney (renal) abnormalities, shortened fingers, and pancreatic insufficiency.

Alagille Syndrome [AHD, Arteriohepatic Dysplasia, Cholestasis with Peripheral Pulmonary Stenosis] Authors: Nancy B Spinner, PhD Ian D Krantz, MD Binita M Kamath, MBBChir About the Authors / Author History Initial Posting: 19 May 2000 Last Revision 2 February 2004 Summary Disease characteristics. Alagille syndrome (AGS) is a complex, dominantly inherited multisystem disorder involving primarily the liver, heart, eyes, face, and skeleton. The major clinical manifestations of AGS are cholestasis, characterized by bile duct paucity on liver biopsy; congenital cardiac defects, primarily involving the pulmonary arteries; posterior embryotoxon in the eye; typical facial features; and butterfly vertebrae. Renal and central nervous abnormalities also occur. The clinical features are highly variable, even within families. Diagnosis/testing. The diagnosis of Alagille syndrome is primarily based on clinical findings. Sequence analysis of the gene , available on a clinical basis, detects mutations in approximately 70% of individuals who meet clinical diagnostic criteria and is therefore only useful in certain circumstances.

This site is hosted by Netfirms Web Hosting WHAT IS ALAGILLE'S SYNDROME? Alagille's syndrome is an inherited disorder that mimics other forms of prolonged liver disease seen in infants and young children. Alagille's Syndrome is generally inherited only from one parent. Each affected adult or child may have all or only a few of the features of the syndrome. Alagille's occurs approximately once in every 100,000 live births with equal incidence between girls and boys. For a couple who already have an affected child, the risk of a further child being affected are 1 in 30 if neither parent has any signs, and 1 in 10 if one of the parents has signs of the syndrome. DIAGNOSIS OF ALAGILLE'S SYNDROME This can be difficult in the young baby when the condition may appear very similar to other forms of liver disease, such as biliary atresia. However there are other features associated with Alagille's Syndrome which help establish the diagnosis. These include abnormalities in the cardiovascular system, the spinal column, the eye and the kidneys. Narrowing of the blood vessel connecting the heart to the lungs (pulmonary artery) leads to extra heart sounds but rarely problems in heart function. The shape of the bones of the spinal column may look like a butterfly's wings on x-ray but almost never cause problems with function of the nerves in the spinal cord.

Pediatric Medical Director Fellowships Surgical Gastroenterology Clinical Trials The Transplant Center is a partnership of the following entities: Our liver transplant program is one of the world's oldest Liver Disorders Transplant Services Website Arteriohepatic Dysplasia (Alagille Syndrome) Alagille syndrome is a genetic condition affecting 1 in 70,000 newborns. Generally presenting in infancy, this condition is often misdiagnosed as biliary atresia. Occasionally, it can escape medical attention until school age, where it appears as xanthomata (fibrous, fatty tissue or nodules under the skin) or pruritis (itching). Jaundice may or may not be present. The syndrome is marked by five major features, several of which must be present for diagnosis: cholestatic liver disease, congenital heart disease, vertebral and/or long bone anomalies, ophthalmic (eye) abnormalities and peculiar facies (facial features), such as deep-set eyes and an oversized brow. There is a 50 percent chance that people with this syndrome will pass it to their children. A prenatal diagnosis is not available.
