Alagille Syndrome Clinical Care Program
Children with Alagille syndrome can face many complications from this inherited liver disease. The condition can affect the heart, eyes, bones, vascular system and other organs. Children with Alagille syndrome should be evaluated by a skilled multidisciplinary team that can provide diagnostic testing, genetic counseling, referrals to specialists and long-term follow-up care.
At Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), a team of physicians, nurses, staff and researchers offer a full range of services to children with Alagille syndrome and their families. Our researchers are actively investigating the underlying causes of the condition and recently identified another gene that causes Alagille. We are pursuing new therapies and treatments to help more children with Alagille cope with the complex issues associated with the disorder.
