Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is a multisystem disease with high variability in clinical features. ALGS is predominantly caused by pathogenic variants in the Notch ligand JAG1. An iPSC line, NCHi011-A, was generated from a ALGS patient with complex cardiac phenotypes consisting of pulmonic valve and branch pulmonary artery stenosis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAlagille syndrome (ALGS) is an autosomal dominant disease affecting the liver, heart and other organs with high variability. About 95% of ALGS cases are associated with pathogenic variants in JAG1, encoding the Jagged1 ligand that binds to Notch receptors. The iPSC line NCHi012-A was derived from an ALGS patient with cholestatic liver disease and mild pulmonary stenosis, who is heterozygous for a 2 bp deletion in the JAG1 coding sequence.
