Overview
Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the development of the liver, heart, and other organs. The symptoms of the disorder can vary widely among individuals and can range from mild to severe. Diagnosis of Alagille syndrome is based on a combination of clinical findings, imaging studies, and genetic testing. It's often difficult to diagnose as the symptoms are non-specific and can be similar to other liver disorders.
