At presentation, 22 (31.4%) eyes had a giant tear, six (8.6%) eyes had a horseshoe break, single breaks were present in seven (10.0%) eyes, multiple breaks in 35 (50%) eyes, and macular hole in two (2.85%) eyes. [dovepress.com]

Varied clinical presentations have been found, probably due to the different type of collagens found in different part of the body, but only this solely cannot explain the phenotypic distinction. [jpgo.org]

Together the data from the present study and the previous studies suggest that loss-of-function mutations in any of the collagen IX genes can cause autosomal recessive Stickler syndrome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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]

Confirming a genetic diagnosis is essential to determine prognosis and establish a risk for recurrence. Aneuploidies such as Trisomy 13 and 18 have a strong association with CL/CP. [perioimplantadvisory.com]
