Abstract:
Alagille syndrome (AGS) is a complex multisystem disorder that involves mainly the liver, heart, eyes, face, and skeleton. The main associated clinical features are chronic cholestasis due to a paucity of intrahepatic bile ducts, congenital heart disease primarily affecting pulmonary arteries, vertebral abnormalities, ocular embryotoxon, and peculiar facies. AGS is caused by defects in the Notch signalling pathway due to mutations in JAG1. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern with a high degree of penetrance, but variable expressivity results in a wide range of clinical features. Here we report on a one and half year-old female child who presented with elevated serum alkaline phosphatase with transaminitis and coagulopathy, and was diagnosed with AGS associated with the JAG1 mutation after a comprehensive workup.
