Unlabelled: This case describes a child with blindness, recurrent low-impact fractures, low bone mass, and intermittent joint pain who was found to have a novel missense mutation in COL11A1, consistent with Stickler syndrome type II. The case illustrates the phenotypic variability of the syndrome, which may include increased fragility in childhood.
Introduction: Stickler syndrome type II is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the gene that encodes the type XI collagen chain α1 (COL11A1).

Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy and osteoporosis pseudoglioma syndrome are conditions that result from mutations in the LRP5 gene. Persistent fetal vasculature is a rare congenital malformation that can mimic end-stage familial exudative vitreoretinopathy. The authors report a case of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy in the spectrum of osteoporosis pseudoglioma syndrome associated with novel mutations of the LRP5 and TSPAN12 genes that resulted in a phenotype similar to bilateral persistent fetal vasculature.

A 6-year-old girl with osteoporosis-pseudoglioma syndrome had operative treatment of a distal femur fracture that failed. Osteoporosis-pseudoglioma syndrome is an autosomal recessive syndrome combining severe premature osteoporosis with a bilateral eye disorder leading to early onset of blindness. Beginning in early childhood, the patient sustained multiple fractures of the left distal femur that were treated nonoperatively.

Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is characterized by bone fragility. At least seven discrete types have been described ranging from mild disease to a lethal form. In a large number of cases, mutations in one of the two genes encoding type I collagen have been found.
