Hi! The Genetic Dr. tested my two boys and myself for
Sticklers. The test came back saying that all three
of us has Sticklers. All 3 of us have the same gene
which is Col 11 A1. So far my 13 yr. old son and
myself hasn't shown any signs of Sicklers but my 3yrs.
has some the the signs of Sicklers. He was born with
PRS, a soft clef palate and a small jaw. All three of
us has our retinas check with our eye exam every year.
