Stickler syndrome (hereditary progressive arthro-ophthalmodystrophy) is a group of very rare genetic disorders affecting connective tissue, specifically collagen. Stickler syndrome is a clinically variable and genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by ocular, auditory, skeletal, and orofacial abnormalities. 1 Aug Variante genética del síndrome de Stickler.

The examination of childhood photographs may be helpful in the assessment of craniofacial findings of adults, since the craniofacial findings characteristic of Stickler syndrome may become less distinctive with age. Analysis of the coding region of COL9A1 showed homozygous nonsense variants in the affected individuals in three families with autosomal recessive Stickler syndrome [ Van Camp et alNikopoulos et al ]. DNA banking is the storage of DNA typically extracted from white blood cells for possible future use.

Diseases of collagenlaminin and other scleroproteins.

Stickler syndrome

Apropos of a case. Hereditary progressive arthroophthalmopathy Prevalence: A syndrome of nerve deafness, eye anomalies and marfanoid habitus with autosomal dominant inheritance. Spondyloperipheral dysplasia OMIM Posterior chorioretinal atrophy was described by Vu et al [] in a family with vitreoretinal dystrophy, a novel pathogenic variant in COL2A1and systemic features of Stickler syndrome, suggesting that individuals with Stickler syndrome may have posterior pole chorioretinal changes in addition to the vitreous abnormalities.

In affected members of 2 unrelated families with Stickler syndrome, Ahmad et al. In 2 of them, they found crossovers between the disease locus and COL2A1. Later she developed progressive myopia, cataract, and bilateral retinal detachments leading to bilateral enucleation in her teens.

sticiler Collagen alpha-2 XI chain. People with eye involvement are prone to increased pressure within the eye ocular hypertension which could lead to glaucoma and tearing or detachment of the light-sensitive retina of the eye retinal detachment.

There were also differences in ocular findings. This section is not meant to address all personal, cultural, or dde issues that individuals may face or to substitute for consultation with a genetics professional.

Marshall syndrome OMIM By convention, the longest transcript variant is used as the reference sequence. Orphanet J Rare Dis. Junctional epidermolysis bullosa Laryngoonychocutaneous syndrome. Epub Oct Genetic Counseling Genetic counseling is the process of providing individuals and families with information on the nature, inheritance, and implications of genetic disorders to help them make informed medical and personal decisions.

Genes and Databases for chromosome locus and protein. Surveillance Annual examination by a vitreoretinal specialist is appropriate. Diagnosis is made on the basis of the clinical picture and can be confirmed stcikler molecular analysis. The three other transcript variants are known to encode protein isoforms of varying lengths.

Prognosis Prognosis depends on the severity of the signs present. A metabolic defect concerning the hyaluronic acid and the collagen of the 2-d type is assumed to be the cause of this syndrome. See Genetic Counseling for issues related to testing of at-risk relatives for genetic counseling purposes.

Type IX collagen is a structural component of hyaline cartilage, vitreous of the eye, and intervertebral disc.

Using this method, Freddi et al. They also found 3 mutations in the alternatively spliced exon 2 of the COL2A1 gene resulting in the predominantly ocular form of type I Stickler syndrome Unfortunately, it is sindroe free to produce. Fibrochondrogenesis 2 OMIM By convention, the longest transcript variant is used as the reference sequence Table 3.

The brother with Stickler syndrome had conductive hearing loss due to infection and surgery. In 90 patients from 38 families who presented for evaluation of possible Stickler syndrome, Rose et al.

No further modifications are allowed. Many professionals that are likely to be involved in the treatment of those with Stickler’s syndrome, include anesthesiologists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons ; craniofacial surgeons; ear, nose, and throat specialistsophthalmologistsoptometrists, audiologistsspeech pathologists, physical therapists and rheumatologists.

Phenotypic Series Toggle Dropdown. The syndrome is sindroome to arise from a mutation of several collagen genes during fetal development. Get Access Get Access.

This variability may reflect the heterogeneity that is demonstrated by presence or absence of linkage to COL2A1. Genetic changes are related to the following types of Stickler syndrome: Arthritis often appears at an early age and worsens as a person gets older. Additional observations on vertebral abnormalities, a hearing defect, and a report of a similar case.

The proposed criteria are based on assigning points for clinical features, family history data, and molecular data.

The authors proposed that these common sites should be analyzed as a first step in the search for mutations in Stickler syndrome.
