A group of physical features referred to as ‘Pierre Robin sequence’ is a regular occurrence in people suffering from Stickler Syndrome. These features include a cleft palate, a tongue positioned far back within the mouth, and a smaller lower jaw. These combined issues can cause a sufferer to have problems consuming food and difficulty breathing.

There are a long range of symptoms that are associated with Stickler Syndrome:

Short sightedness
Vitreous gel abnormalities
Risk of detached retinas and cataracts
Glaucoma
Hyper mobility in the joints
Osteoarthritis
High arched palate
