Alagille Syndrome
Alagille Syndrome (AGS; Alagille-Watson Syndrome, AWS; Cholestasis with
Peripheral Pulmonary Stenosis; Arteriohepatic Dysplasia, AHD; Hepatic
Ductular Hypoplasia, Syndromatic) 35
General: May be associated with 20p 11.2 deletion and four distinct coding mutations in Jag 1 gene.
Ocular: Posterior embryotoxon and retinal pigmentary changes; anterior chamber anomalies, associated with eccentric or ectopic pupils.
Clinical: Neonatal jaundice; prominent forehead and chin; pulmonic valvular stenosis as well as peripheral arterial stenosis; abnormal vertebrae ("butterfly" vertebrae) and decrease in interpediculate distance in the lumbar spine; absent deep tendon reflexes and poor school performance; in the facies, broad forehead, pointed mandible, and bulbous tip of the nose; and in the fingers, varying degrees of foreshortening.
