摘要
Alagille syndrome (ALGS) type 2 caused by mutations in NOTCH2 has genotypic and phenotypic heterogeneity. Diagnosis in some atypical patients with isolated hepatic presentation could be missed.Using 2087 patients with paediatric liver manifestations, NOTCH2 allele frequencies, in-silico prediction, protein domains and clinical features were analysed to define the pathogenicity of NOTCH2 variants for diagnosis of ALGS type 2.Among 2087 patients with paediatric liver manifestations, significantly more NOTCH2 variants were absent in gnomAD in patients with elevated γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) (p = .041). Significantly more NOTCH2 variants which were absent in gnomAD were located in protein functional domains (p = .038). When missense variants were absent in gnomAD and predicted to be pathogenic by at least three out of seven in-silico tools, they were found to be significantly associated with liver manifestations with elevated GGT (p = .003). Comparing this to patients with likely benign (LB) variants, the patients with likely-pathogenic (LP) variants have significantly more liver manifestations with elevated GGT (p = .0001). Significantly more patients with LP variants had extra-hepatic phenotypes of ALGS compared with those patients with LB variants (p = .0004).When NOTCH2 variants are absent in gnomAD, null variants and missense variants which were predicted to be pathogenic by at least three in-silico tools could be considered pathogenic in patients with high GGT chronic liver diseases.
