Abstract excerpt
Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is primarily caused by jagged1 (JAG1) mutations, 70% of which are protein‑truncating mutations. However, no mutation hotspots have been discovered, and the pathogenic mechanism is not fully understood. The aim of the present study was to analyze two protein‑truncating JAG1 mutations detected in three Chinese ALGS patients. Mutation c.1261delT (p.Cys421Valfs) was identified in one patient...
