Syndromic Congenital Heart Disease Diagnosed in Adulthood: A Reminder of the Phenotypic Variability of Alagille Syndrome

Case Reports in Cardiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Alagille syndrome is a rare multisystemic genetic condition most commonly associated with neonatal liver disease. Variable expressivity is a defining feature of Alagille syndrome, resulting in a broad spectrum of phenotypic variation among individuals who meet the diagnostic criteria. We present an atypical case of cardiac‐predominant Alagille syndrome
