  Hearing impairment is common. The degree of hearing impairment is variable and may be progressive. Some degree of sensorineural hearing impairment (typically high-tone, often subtle) is found in 40% of individuals [ Snead & Yates 1999 ]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Due to the retrospective nature of our study, the lack of a genetic workup and family evaluation, we were unable to analyze the pattern of inheritance in the study cohort. [dovepress.com]

Prognosis There is currently no available data on long-term visual prognosis of Stickler syndrome; however, prophylactic treatment to prevent retinal detachment is expected to improve long term visual prognosis. [eyewiki.aao.org]

What is the Prognosis of Stickler Syndrome? Stickler Syndrome does not affect the life expectancy of an individual. Once diagnosed, the doctor and the patient's parents can take proactive steps to monitor any abnormality and promptly correct it. [medindia.net]

Galil et al. (1991) described the physical, motor, cognitive, and academic development of a child with WZS from birth to the age of 8 years and suggested a more favorable prognosis for both physical and psychomotor development than previously reported [genome.jp]

Therefore, it is empirical to delineate the underlying pathology because the prognosis of skeletal dysplasias compared with the several causations of hip deformities requires prompt indication for a precise therapeutic intervention is more guarded [ 18 [medsci.org]

Etiology Types 1-4 Stickler syndrome are classically inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion [3], though a significant number of cases may be sporadic. [2] Risk Factors The only known risk factor for Stickler syndrome is a family history of the condition [eyewiki.aao.org]

Some of the subjects in this group have been further investigated by means of reformatted CT scan to understand the etiology behind their early onset spine stiffness. [medsci.org]
