Familiar Meniere's disease restricted to 1.48 Mb on chromosome 12p12.3 by allelic and haplotype association.

Abstract excerpt

Meniere's disease (MD) is a disorder of the inner ear characterized by episodes of vertigo, tinnitus and fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss. Most MD cases are sporadic, but 5-15% of patients are familial following an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance with incomplete penetrance. We have previously identified a candidate gene region for MD on chromosome 12p12.3 using linkage analysis. We genotyped 15...
