HEPATOLOGY, VOLUME 62, NUMBER 1 (SUPPL) AASLD ABSTRACTS 1035A<br />

Disease Research Network (ChiLDReN). DXA was performed<br />

on subjects age > 5 years (with native liver), diagnosed with<br />

Bile Acid Synthetic Disorder (BAD; n=14), Alpha-1 antitrypsin<br />

deficiency (A1AT; n=44) and Alagille syndrome (ALGS;<br />

n=49). Pearson correlation coefficients examined associations<br />

between subject reference (adjusted for age, gender and race)<br />

and anthropometrically-adjusted DXA Z-scores and laboratory<br />

values (total bilirubin (TB), serum bile acids (SBA) and 25-OH<br />

vitamin D (vitD)) and fx history. Results: Weight, height and<br />

BMI Z-scores were all lower, and TB and SBA higher, in the<br />

ALGS group (p1 fx; 21% and 7% in BAD;<br />

20% and 2% in A1AT). Bone mineral density (BMD) reference<br />

measures did not differ among disease groups except for<br />

total hip BMD and femoral neck BMD, which were lower in<br />

ALGS (p=0.007 and p=0.0002). Total body and total body<br />

minus head bone mineral content (BMC) reference measures<br />

were lower in the ALGS subjects (p
