✦ Synopsis

Mutations in the human JAGGED1 gene cause Alagille syndrome, an autosomal dominant developmental disorder. The gene encodes a transmembrane protein which is a ligand of Notch receptors. We report 23 mutations in previously undescribed probands, including 15 novel mutations and 8 recurrent mutations. They map in the part of the gene encoding the extracellular part of the protein. Fifteen mutations are frameshifts and 8 are point mutations. They could give rise to truncated proteins (18/23, including 5 nonsense mutations). There are 2 splice defects, and the 3 missense mutations all cause loss or creation of cysteine residues in the Delta-Serrate-Lag2 domain or in EGF repeats. The inheritance was studied in 14 families, including those of 2 probands previously studied. Two mutations were transmitted from the father and 3 from the mother. Nine mutations were de novo, further confirmation that the majority of cases are sporadic.

Alagille syndrome (AGS) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in Jagged1 (JAG1), a ligand in the evolutionarily conserved Notch signaling pathway. Previous studies have demonstrated that a wide spectrum of JAG1 mutations result in AGS. These include total gene deletions, protein trun

We have carried out a mutation screening of the PHEX gene in Finnish patients with hypophosphatemia. A total of 100% (5/5) of the familial HYP patients (X-linked hypophosphatemia) and 93% (14/15) of the sporadic cases were found to carry a mutation in the PHEX gene. We identified 18 mutations, of wh
