Alagille Syndrome - (pronounced) (a-luh-JEEL SIN-drome) rare condition in which there are defects in the small tubes that carry bile (fluid that helps digest fat) from the liver. These tubes may be narrow or abnormally shaped, or there may be fewer than normal. This can cause bile to build up in the liver, which can lead to cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) and liver damage. Alagille syndrome can also affect other parts of the body, including the heart, kidneys, blood vessels, eyes, face, and spine. It usually occurs in infants and children and can be inherited
