Stickler syndrome is an inherited vitreoretinopathy characterized by the association of ocular signs with more or less complete forms of Pierre-Robin sequence (see this term), bone disorders, and sensorineural deafness (10% of cases)
Sticklersyndrome is a hereditary connective tissue disease transmitted by AD pattern.
2
Subjects: Forty-six affected individuals from 29 different families segregating Sticklersyndrome.
3
The main problem encountered with Sticklersyndrome, however, is usually tearing and detachment of the retinas.
4
This represents the first published account of a patient with both Sticklersyndrome and X-linked retinoschisis.
5
I have a hereditary condition called SticklerSyndrome.
6
The overall sensorineural hearing loss in type I Sticklersyndrome is typically mild and not significantly progressive.
7
Main outcome measures: The degree of foveal hypoplasia and the best-corrected visual acuity in patients with Sticklersyndrome.
8
Conclusions: A mild foveal hypoplasia with a persistence of the IRL is characteristic of eyes with Sticklersyndrome.
9
Participants: A total of 39 eyes of 25 patients with genetically confirmed Sticklersyndrome were studied.
10
Methods: All of the patients had mutations in the COL2A1 gene and were diagnosed with Sticklersyndrome.
11
Ted, from Farnsfield, Nottinghamshire, has Sticklersyndrome - which caused his retinas to detach resulting in him becoming blind at the age of two.
12
Genetic testing revealed mutations in the COL2A1 and RS1 genes, confirming a dual diagnosis of Sticklersyndrome and X-linked retinoschisis, respectively.
13
The onset and degree of hearing loss associated with COL11A1 mutations are useful clinical features to differentiate Marshall syndrome from the phenotypically similar Sticklersyndrome.
