โ Myth: Alagille syndrome only affects the liver.
โ Fact: Alagille syndrome is a complex, multisystem genetic condition. While liver involvement is common, it can also affect the heart, kidneys, eyes, bones, and blood vesselsโand no two individuals experience it the same way.
No caregiver should feel alone. ๐ ALGSA is here to connect, support, and empower families affected by Alagille syndrome.
