Alagille syndrome (AGS) is a highly complex, multisystem, autosomal dominant disorder that is caused by a defect in the Notch signaling pathway. This syndrome mainly affects the liver, causing significant cholestasis, which is caused by a paucity of intrahepatic bile ducts. There can be cardiac involvement, including, but not limited to, pulmonary stenosis and tetralogy of Fallot. Patients can also present with butterfly vertebra, ocular issues, and vascular events. Because this syndrome follows an autosomal dominant inheritance, it can have variable expression even in the same family line. For infants in the NICU who have a cardiac defect and persistent hyperbilirubinemia after two weeks of age, genetic testing for AGS should be considered. Early detection and diagnosis can lead to improved outcomes. In this discussion of AGS, the clinical features as well as management are discussed.
阿拉吉尔综合征(AGS)是一种高度复杂的多系统常染色体显性疾病,由Notch信号通路缺陷引起。该综合征主要影响肝脏,导致严重胆汁淤积,这是由肝内胆管缺乏所致。可有心脏受累,包括但不限于肺动脉狭窄和法洛四联症。患者还可出现蝴蝶椎、眼部问题和血管事件。由于该综合征遵循常染色体显性遗传,即使在同一家族系中也可能有不同的表现。对于新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)中出生两周后有心脏缺陷和持续性高胆红素血症的婴儿,应考虑进行AGS基因检测。早期发现和诊断可改善预后。在本次关于AGS的讨论中,将探讨其临床特征及治疗方法。
