ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Alagille syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder with developmental abnormalities affecting the liver, heart, eyes, vertebrae, and craniofacial region. The Jagged1(JAG1) gene, which encodes a ligand of Notch, has been found mutated in Alagille syndrome. The aim of the study was to investigate the mutation analysis of JAG1 gene in Korean patients with Alagille syndrome.METHODS:
Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral leukocytes of 6 patients. The 26 exons of JAG1 gene were amplified and PCR products were directly sequenced.RESULTS:
Two novel frameshift mutations were found. 118delC in exon 2 was found in a patient who developed hepatocellular carcinoma at 4 years of age. 999-1000delTG was identified in exon 7.CONCLUSION:
Mutations identified in this study are expected to give rise to truncated proteins.
