The prognosis for a normal lifespan is good. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

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]

Prognosis Prognosis is good under physician care. It is particularly important to receive regular vision and hearing exams. If retinal detachment is a risk, it may be advisable to avoid contact sports. [encyclopedia.com]

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]

The pathophysiology of the spinal abnormalities in Stickler syndrome has not been fully defined. [medsci.org]

The exact pathophysiological mechanism is unclear; however it is most probably associated with the expression of type II and IX collagen in the inner ear 2, 4. [centogene.com]

Pathophysiology Stickler syndrome is believed to be a direct result of abnormalities in the production of collagen types II, IX and XI, all of which are recognized as components of the human vitreous. [2] Normal collagen fibrils are composed of three [eyewiki.aao.org]

Conclusions: Prophylactic treatments such scleral buckle and laser and cryotherapy prevented the development of retinal tears or detachment in pts with Stickler syndrome. [omicsonline.org]

Early treatment can help prevent life-altering complications. Hearing should be checked every six months in children through age 5 and then yearly thereafter. [mayoclinic.org]
