JESSICA,
I do not know of a test, but I was born with sticklers in 1961. I was
the first born and my younger brother was no problems. I have a son
and daughter,both were born with no problems. I have a two year old
granddaughter born to my son and she has no problems. This is a
strange thing. I was the first and only person on both sides of my
parents family to have this. I would like to chat with some other
adults out there. I was not told about sticklers until 2 years age.
