Extractions: Genetic Analysis of Mouse Development and Disease The main interest of our laboratory is the study of genes important for embryonic development in mice, and the connections between mutations in these genes and congenital human disease syndromes. Our analyses focus on a developmental signaling pathway termed the Notch pathway, and on genes of the Snail family, which encode zinc finger-containing transcriptional repressors. The Notch signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved intercellular signaling mechanism. Genes of the Notch family encode transmembrane receptors that interact with membrane-bound ligands encoded by Delta/Serrate/Jagged family genes. The signal induced by ligand binding is transmitted intracellularly by a process involving proteolytic cleavage of the receptor and nuclear translocation of the intracellular domain of the Notch protein. Genes of the Notch signaling pathway have been cloned from numerous vertebrate organisms, and many are essential for normal embryonic development. In humans, mutations in genes encoding components of the Notch signaling pathway are found in one type of cancer and in three inherited disease syndromes. One of these syndromes is Alagille syndrome, which is caused by mutations in the jagged 1 (

Extractions: Bile Duct Paucity (BDP) (syndromic Alagille and non syndromic) is a well recognized, although uncommon cause of neonatal cholestasis(1-3). As the clinical presentation can closely resemble extra hepatic biliary atresia, BDP will be missed unless an infant with Neonatal Cholestasis (NC) undergoes a comprehensive work up including a liver biopsy. We present our experience of 5 cases seen over 3 years. A. Sibal, 1. Alagille D, Odievre M, Gautier M, Dommergues JP.

Alagille's Syndrome of clinical features, genetics and treatment of alagille'ssyndrome. alagille's syndrome Prof. J. Reichen First described http://www.ikp.unibe.ch/lab2/Alagille.htm
Extractions: Autosomal dominant disorder owing to mutations in the JAG1 gene on chromosome 20p12 (2;3). JAG1 codes for a NOTCH receptor ligand important in cell-cell interactions and in development. Different mutations have been described 70 % of which are sporadic (4). During embroygenesis JAG1 is expressed mainly in the cardiovascular system; in the liver it is associated with blood vessels. It is also expressed in other structures of mesenchymal origin suggesting that the variety of associated conditions are not chance associations (5). Clinical presentation, associated features: The classical syndrome consists of jaundice in early infancy, characteristic facies, pulmonary stenosis, butterfly vertebrae, growth and mental retardation and hypogonadism (1). In Emerick's series, 40 % had renal disease and stroke occurred in 14 % (6). The growth retardation is due to resistance to GH (7). Severe pruritus occurs in 45 % but can abate with age (6). Besides posterior embryotoxon a variety of other ocular anomalities have been described (8). Table 1 Frequency of main signs of Alagille's syndrome in the two largest series Alagille (9) (n= 80) Emerick (6) (n=92) Chronic cholestasis Characteristic facies Systolic murmur Butterfly vertebrae Posterior embryotoxon Other associated conditions include congenital mechanical obstruction of the small intestine (10), cystic renal disease (11), tubulo-interstitial nephropathy (12), exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (13), pancreas atrophy with diabetes mellitus (14), coproporphyrin abnormalities with photosensitivity (15).
Alagille's Syndrome (www.whonamedit.com) alagille's syndrome A congenital familial syndrome marked by clinical picturewith intrahepatic cholestasis, neonatal jaundice, and hepatomegaly. http://www.whonamedit.com/synd.cfm/729.html

A congenital familial syndrome with onset during first three months of life, affecting both sexes. Marked by clinical picture with intrahepatic cholestasis due to hypoplasia of the interlobular biliary duct, neonatal jaundice, hepatomegaly (from 3rd month). Long list of symptoms include dysmorphic (flat) facies sometimes referred to as cholestasis facies, with prominent forehead, mongoloid slant, mild hypertelorism, straight or bulbous nose, and skeletal anomalies; occasionally diffuse xanthomas (palms, extensor areas, creases), and pruritus, Harsh mesosystolic murmur. Growth and mental retardation. In males, hypogonadism. Etiology unknown. Inheritance is autosomal dominant with reduced penetrance and variable expressivity.
Daniel Alagille (www.whonamedit.com) Daniel alagille French paediatrician, born January 24, 1925,Paris. Associated with alagille's syndrome. Who named it? http://www.whonamedit.com/doctor.cfm/153.html
Extractions: Daniel Alagille in 1954 graduated from the University of Paris, where he also obtained a diploma in biochemistry. From 1954 to 1964 he worked in the Hôpial Saint-Vincent-de Paul and was appointed associate professor in 1963. He as elevated to full professor of paediatrics and clinical genetics at the Université Paris-Sud in 1971, also being staff physician and chairman of the department of paediatrics, Hôpital de Bicêtre, where he founded a paediatric liver unit. From 1964 he was chief of the paediatric liver research unit of the Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche. He remained with the Hôpital de Bicêtre until his retirement in 1990. Alagille was chief editor of the Revue internationale d'hépatologie (1954-1971) and Archives françaises de pédiatrie (1964-1990). He has published more than 500 articles and several books. He became Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Mérite in 1967 and Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur in 1988. By 1996 he was professor emeritus at the Université Paris-Sud in Bicêtre.
