Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is a rare, multisystem disorder that can affect the liver, heart, skeleton, eyes, vasculature, and kidneys. It is one of the most common inherited causes of neonatal cholestasis. Symptoms and severity can vary greatly from one person to another even within the same family, which makes diagnosis difficult. In symptomatic infants with cholestasis or severe organ involvement, ALGS often presents during the first 3 months of life. However, in those with a milder phenotype it is often not diagnosed until later in childhood or, less frequently, in adulthood.

This short course has been designed to teach healthcare providers everything they need to know about Alagille syndrome in order to increase recognition and improve patient care. It should take you 30-60 minutes to complete.
