Abstract:Wagner's vitreoretinal degeneration, midline facial defects and a moderate generalized epiphyseal dysplasia defined radiologically were encountered in a boy and his father. The familial nature of the condition and its autosomal dominant inheritance are described. Suggestions are made that patients said to have Wagner's disease differ in no way radiologically from cases diagnosed as having Stickler's syndrome.
SUMMARYHeterogeneity has long been recognised within the spectrum of inherited vitreo-retinal disease but the extent of the variation has been less easy to quantify.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
