title: Resolution of xanthomas in Alagille syndrome after liver transplantation.
abstract: Alagille syndrome (arteriohepatic dysplasia) is a genetic disorder with autosomal dominant transmission which has been localized to chromosome 20p. Cutaneous manifestations include jaundice, pruritus, and widespread xanthomata. We report a child with severe Alagille syndrome in whom orthotopic liver transplantation caused rapid resolution of disfiguring xanthomas.
