Alagille syndrome today Alagille DClin Invest Med 1996[Oct]; 19 (5): 325-30A genetic syndrome causing paucity of interlobular bile ducts (Alagille syndrome) is characterized by five main characteristics: typical, peculiar facies; chronic cholestasis; posterior embryotoxon; butterfly-like vertebral-arch defects; and cardiovascular malformations. In the complete form of the syndrome, all five features are observed. Four or less of these characteristics are present in the incomplete or partial forms of this syndrome. Other, less frequent characteristics (growth retardation, mental retardation, renal and bone abnormalities as well as a high-pitched voice) have also been observed. An autosomal dominant mode of genetic transmission with variable penetrance seems likely. Therapy consists of nutritional supplementation of medium-chain triglycerides, essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins. Liver transplantation has been used successfully to treat patients with liver failure, portal hypertension or severe pruritus and xanthomatosis.|*Alagille Syndrome/diagnosis/pathology/therapy[MESH]|Humans[MESH] |
