A characteristic feature of Stickler syndrome is a somewhat flat face. This appearance is due to underdeveloped bones in the midface, including the cheekbones and bridge of the nose. A specific group of physical features called Pierre Robin syndrome is also common in people with Stickler syndrome. Problems with the bones of the spine can also occur, including abnormal curvature of the spine (scoliosis) and flattened vertebrae (spondylosis). Researchers have described several types of Stickler syndrome, distinguished by their genetic causes, signs, and symptoms.
