Stickler syndrome (hereditary arthro-ophthalmopathy) is caused by mutations in the structural gene for collagen type II (COL2A1) in approximately 50% of cases. In the other families with this syndrome, the genetic defect is unknown. We have performed linkage analysis in a large Dutch kindred with...
