Abstract
Based on our study of 32 affected individuals in 10 families, we suggest that the Wagner and the Stickler syndromes could be the same disorder. Both the Wagner and the Stickler syndromes are autosomal dominant disorders with a similar pattern of eye abnormalities, including myopia, presenile cataracts, strabismus, vitreo-retinal degeneration, retinal detachment and retino-schisis. Only the Stickler syndrome has been associated with non-ocular problems, such as cleft palate, micrognathia, mid facial hypoplasia, hearing loss and degenerative arthritis. All of the index cases in our study were ascertained because of their retinal symptoms as having the Wagner syndrome. Three families were included in a report on Wagner syndrome in Arch Ophthal. 89:176, 1973 by Hirose et al.
