Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by disruption of the Notch signaling pathway due to mutations in either JAGGED1 (JAG1) (ALGS type 1) or NOTCH2 (ALGS type 2). Loss of this signaling interferes with the development of many organs, but especially the liver. A human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was generated from the fibroblasts of a patient with a p. C312X (c. 936 T > A) variant in JAG1. This iPSC line offers a valuable resource to study the disease pathophysiology and develop therapeutics to treat patients with ALGS., (Published by Elsevier B.V.)

Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is a multisystem autosomal dominant disorder caused by defects in the Notch signaling pathway, including the mutation in JAGGED1 (JAG1) (ALGS type 1) or NOTCH2 (ALGS type 2). An induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was generated from the dermal fibroblasts of a 3-month-old patient with heterozygous mutation at JAG1 splicing site (Chr20: 10,629,709C>A) before exon 11. This iPSC model offers a useful resource for disease modeling to study the disease pathophysiology and to develop therapeutics for treatment of ALGS., (Published by Elsevier B.V.)
