Related Disorders

There are many of collagen-related disorders as well as versions of the Stickler phenotype which have not been genetically identified. This list may change as research gives us a better understanding of these conditions.
Marshall Syndrome
Marshall may have more severe craniofacial characteristics, but not the joint problems of Stickler Syndrome, Type I
Wagner Syndrome
Also known as Hyaloideoretinal Degeneration of Wagner.
There may be more than one type of Wagner syndrome, so differentiation from the two types of Stickler is difficult. It may be that Wagner has skeletal effects, but not the joint and hearing problems of Stickler Syndrome, Type I .
Weissenbacher-Zweymuller Syndrome (WZS)
Originally known as Pierre Robin Syndrome with Fetal Chondrodysplasia.
WZS has more severe skeletal effects and delayed neonatal development, but may lack the eye and joint problems of Stickler Syndrome, Type I . It is recessive, not dominant.
