Popis: The Stickler Syndromes are inherited conditions caused by abnormalities in structural proteins that are expressed in the eye, inner ear, and hyaline and elastic cartilage [1] and affect 1 in 7500 live births [2]. There are over 10 different subtypes but Type 1 Stickler syndrome due to pathogenic variants in COL2A1, the gene encoding type II collagen, accounts for 80% of all Stickler Syndrome cases, and represents the commonest cause of inherited and childhood retinal detachment [3].
