Stickler Syndrome (STL) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by degeneration of the vitreous and retina, and is frequently associated with myopia. 1 It is also accompanied by nonocular signs, such as orofacial anomalies, deafness, and arthritis. There are no widely accepted clinical diagnostic criteria for STL in ophthalmology. 2 Based on locus heterogeneity, a subclassification of STL has been proposed; COL2A1 mutation associated STL type I with a congenital ‘membranous’ vitreous anomaly; COL11A1 mutations associated with STL type II showing a ‘beaded’phenotype; and COL11A2 mutations associated with non-ocular STL type III (OMIM 120140, 120280, and 120290). 3 A subgroup of STL type I patients has been identified who are characterized by predominantly ocular disorders without systemic involvement. 4, 5 It has been suggested that molecular genetics and scrutiny of the phenotype will provide evidence that clinicians require for accurate diagnosis. 2 However, several cases of STL with different degrees of severity and manifestations, and genetic background, have been reported mainly in the Western world.
