Familial Meniere Disease
Gene: ADD1As noted by the expert reviewer Eldar Dedic, PMID: 30828346 - Gallego-Martinez, et al. (2019) reports a family in which two members have a rare missense variant of unknown signficance in ADD1 (chr4:2900221 A>G (grch37, rs372777117). In addition, two other rare variants in candidate genes are reported in 2 members of the same family (variant in KCNQ4) and in all cases within the family (variant in DPT). See Table 5, family 2.
This adds some weight to ADD1 being associated with Familial Meniere disease, and so the watchlist tag has been added to this gene.Created: 7 Oct 2021, 5:21 p.m. | Last Modified: 7 Oct 2021, 6:38 p.m.

Gallego-Martinez, et al. (2019) presented 890 Meniere Disease (MD) cases (including 830 sporadic and 60 familial) of Spanish and Portuguese origin and 40 controls of the same origin. Exon-sequencing panel of 69 genes showed ADD1 c.947A>G (p.Tyr316Cys; also reported as chr4:2900221 A>G in Table 5 or rs372777117:A>G) in 2 cases from one family who also carried DPT c.544C>T (p.Arg182Cys; also reported as chr1:168665849 G>A) variant. The KCNQ4 c.1402G>A (p.Glu468Lys; also reported as chr1:41296865 G>A or rs574794136:G>A) has been reported in 2 cases from this family.
- ADD1 c.947A>G (p.Tyr316Cys) was present in gnomAD v2.1.1 with maximum minor allele frequency (MAX MAF) of 0.002891% (1/34590 alleles, 0 homozygotes) in Latino/Admixed American population.
- DPT has no gene-phenotype association according to the OMIM
- KCNQ4 is having a definitive gene:phenotype relationship with autosomal dominant nonsyndromic genetic deafness (according to ClinGen). The KCNQ4 c.1402G>A (p.Glu468Lys) was present in gnomAD with MAX MAF of 0.006755% (2/29608 alleles, 0 homozygotes) in the South Asian population
- Cases were diagnosed by clinicians from the MD Consortium
- Please note that, according to the Familial MD inclusion criteria (noted in Panel's description), at least 3 affected relatives with a confirmed diagnosis of MD are needed. Gallego-Martinez, et al. (2019) reported 2 affected cases from one family with ADD1 variant, hence not full-filling criteria of familial MD.
Additional notes:
- There were few studies (PMIDs: 22934933, 18667944, 27340988) showing statistically significant association between MD and ADD1 c.1378G>T (p.Gly460Trp) polymorphism (present in gnomAD with MAX MAF of 46,77% (9322/19932 alleles, 2226 homozygotes) in East Asian population). Also, there was a study (PMID: 27837419) that could not confirm this association.
- ADD1 gene is having only 1 likely pathogenic variant reported in ClinVar with 0 stars and associated with Tracheoesophageal fistula
- Although pLI score is 0.99 (according to the gnomAD v2.1.1), HI% score is 46.83 (according to the DECIPHER)
- There were no high MAX MAF potentially loss of function variants resulting in non-sense mediated decay per gnomAD
- Mondo and Orphanet did not associate ADD1 gene with any phenotype
- OMIM associated ADD1 gene with Hypertension, essential, salt-sensitive, with the mode of inheritance as multi-factorialCreated: 2 Oct 2021, 10:59 a.m. | Last Modified: 2 Oct 2021, 10:59 a.m.
