Genetic variant of Stickler's syndrome

Abstract

Abstract Cases reports Three myopic components of a same family came for study because presented severely degraded vitreous, equatorial membranes, retinal pigment epithelium hyperplasia, vascular sheathed and sclerosis of peripheral predominance. A genetic study confirmed the diagnosis of Stickler's syndrome with a variant in the mutation of the COL2A1 gene. Discussion Stickler's syndrome should be suspected in families with a characteristic phenotype with vitreous syneresis and alterations in the retina, but there may be genetic variants that do not express the classic phenotype.
