Abstract excerpt
Alagille syndrome (AGS) is a congenital anomaly syndrome that affects liver, heart, pulmonary artery, eyes, face, and skeleton. Recently, mutations of the JAG1 gene, which encodes a ligand for the Notch receptor, have been identified in AGS patients. We investigated the JAG1 gene for genetic alterations in eight Japanese AGS patients, using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), single strand conformation...
