Alagille syndrome (AGS) is caused by heterozygous mutations in JAG1, and mutations have been previously reported in about 70% of patients who meet clinical diagnostic criteria. We studied a cohort of 247 clinically well-defined patients, and using an aggressive and sequential screening approach we i
## Abstract Congenital cardiac defects such as peripheral pulmonary stenosis are well described in Alagille syndrome (AGS), which is transmitted in an autosomal dominant inheritance. Haploinsufficiency of the Jagged1 (__JAG1__) gene has been shown to cause AGS. Abdominal coarctation is an uncommon
Communicated by Mark H. Paalman Alagille syndrome (AGS) is an autosomal dominant disorder with developmental abnormalities of the liver, heart, eyes, vertebrae, and face. Mutations in the JAG1 (Jagged 1) gene, coding a ligand in the evolutionarily conserved Notch signaling pathway, are responsible f
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.
