Abstract |
Stickler syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by ophthalmologic, craniofacial, audiologic, and joint problems. In this report, we describe a 10-year-old boy presenting with a flat face, high myopia, retinal detachment, arthropathy, short stature, and mental retardation. Sequencing of the COL2A1 gene revealed a novel mutation, c.3055C > T (p.Pro1019Ser), consistent with a diagnosis of Type 1 Stickler Syndrome. |
Key Words:
Stickler syndrome; COL2A1 |
