Autosomal recessive Stickler syndrome

What it is

A rare type of Stickler syndrome characterized by moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss, high myopia, retinal degeneration, vitreous anomalies, and epiphyseal dysplasia. Midface hypoplasia, cleft palate, as well as additional skeletal manifestations (such as platyspondyly, scoliosis, and tibial and femoral bowing at birth) have also been observed.

Clinical subtype

Prevalence figures describe populations, not individuals, and are often estimates from a single study. Where the figure is an incidence or a birth prevalence, it says so.

Signs and symptoms

These ranges are how often a sign appears across everyone diagnosed, not a prediction for one person — most people have some of these and not others. Orphanet also records findings that are specifically absent in this disease; those are in the data but not listed here.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.

Reached through the ICD-10 categories this disease is filed under, so these describe the broader group rather than this disease specifically.
