Stickler syndrome (STL) is a hereditary connective tissue disorder of fibrillar collagen. It is characterized by ocular signs (myopia, vitreoretinal degeneration, retinal detachment and cataracts), arthropathy, deafness, cleft palate, micrognathia, and a characteristic flat face. Mutations in the COL2A1, COL11A1, COL11A2, COL9A1, and COL9A2 genes can cause Stickler syndrome.
