Eye involvement has been considered a principal component feature in Stickler syndrome. However, families lacking eye involvement have been reported. We describe such a family and show that their phenotype is due to a heterozygous 27 basepair deletion in the gene COL11A2, which encodes the alpha2(XI) chain of type XI collagen. This is the second family in whom a COL11A2 mutation has been found to cause Stickler syndrome without eye involvement. This result confirms the role of COL11A2 in the etiopathogenesis of this disorder.
眼部受累一直被认为是斯蒂克勒综合征的主要组成特征。然而,已有报道称存在缺乏眼部受累的家族。我们描述了这样一个家族,并表明他们的表型是由于COL11A2基因中一个27个碱基对的杂合缺失所致,该基因编码XI型胶原的α2(XI)链。这是第二个被发现COL11A2突变导致无眼部受累的斯蒂克勒综合征的家族。这一结果证实了COL11A2在该疾病发病机制中的作用。
