Stickler Conference



This is a picture of me with Dr. Gunner Stickler of the Mayo Clinic.

This last weekend I attended the Annual Stickler Convention. This year it was held at the Mayo Clinic. It was excellent and I enjoyed learning more about Stickler Syndrome.

Stickler syndrome is a connective tissue disorder, a genetic malfunction in the tissue that connects bones, eyes, and ears. This disorder is associated with problems of vision, hearing, bone and joint, facial and cleft palate.
