Menière's Disease (MD) is an episodic cochleovestibular dysfunction of unknown etiology, still lacking a specific test and therapy. The proposed theories on the pathophysiology include genetic factors and factors relating to inner ear homeostasis. Various aquaporins (AQP), water channels, expressed in the inner ear and the vestibular organ, are involved in homeostasis. Mutations in AQP genes could result in disturbed inner ear homeostasis and endolymphatic hydrops, and therefore be involved in the pathogenesis of MD. Aim: To search for mutations in AQP1 to 4 in patients suffering from MD.
