Alagille Syndrome and Associated Cardiac Pathologies: A Comprehensive Exploration of the Interplay between Genetic Factors and Cardiovascular Manifestations

Abstract

Alagille Syndrome (ALGS) stands as a multifaceted genetic disorder renowned for its distinctive cholestatic liver disease and characteristic facial features. Beyond the hepatic implications, ALGS has been increasingly recognized for its intricate association with a spectrum of congenital heart diseases, presenting a challenging clinical scenario. This article elucidates the complex interrelation between Alagille Syndrome and various cardiac anomalies, delving into the underlying genetic mechanisms and clinical implications. By synthesizing current research, we aim to enhance the understanding of clinicians and researchers regarding the nuanced cardiovascular manifestations of Alagille Syndrome, paving the way for improved diagnostic strategies and targeted interventions.
