Comment on list classification: Upgrading from red to amber. Should be reviewed by the GMS as to whether it is appropriate to make green. Hearing loss is less predominant in individuals with variants in this gene than in some other Stickler syndrome genes, however if hearing loss is picked up and Stickler syndrome is identified early then eye related symptoms may be treatable.

Associated with Stickler syndrome, type I #108300 (AD) in OMIM.

PMID: 23110709 - Acke et al 2012 - review the literature to give an overview of hearing loss in Stickler syndrome, correlated with the genotype. 313 patients from 102 families were reviewed. Hearing loss was found in 62.9%, mostly mild to moderate when reported. Mutations in COL11A1 (82.5%) and COL11A2 (94.1%) seem to be more frequently associated with hearing impairment than mutations in COL2A1 (52.2%).

PMID: 27408751 - Kondo et al 2016 - report 21 cases (some familial, most sporadic) with COL2A1 variants. 4/21 (20%) showed hearing loss.

PMID: 20179744 - Hoornaert et al 2010 - identified 77 different heterozygous COL2A1 mutations in 100 affected individuals out of a group of 188 individuals referred with a potential diagnosis of Stickler syndrome. 30% of COL2A1-variant positive patients had sensorineural hearing loss. However, over a higher percentage (50%) of patients without a COL2A1 mutation have sensorineural hearing loss.

Green List (high evidence)

Deafness is a reported feature of Stickler syndrome, including when caused by variants in this gene. Stickler syndrome can sometimes be difficult to diagnose clinically; early diagnosis has the potential to alter visual outcomes.
