Familial Meniere Disease

Gene: AQP1

Red List (low evidence)

- No Meniere disease patient with rare AQP1 variant has been found through literature search

- Li, et al. (2001; PMID: 11406631) showed that transgenic homozygous AQP1 null mouse (4-5 weeks of age) did not have significantly different auditory brain stem response threshold in comparison to the wild-type (Figure 3).

- IMPC noted that homozygous AQP1 knock-out mouse did not experience significant hearing loss

- There are no likely pathogenic/pathogenic (LP/P) variants within AQP1 associated with familial Meniere disease according to ClinVar. The only LP/P variant reported within this gene by ClinVar is associated with Colton-null phenotype

- This gene is having pLI score of 0.09 (gnomAD v2.1.1) and an HI score of 26.95% (Decipher)

- There are no high frequency potentially loss of function (pLOF) variants (gnomAD v2.1.1)

- There are no high-frequency pLOF copy number variants reported by gnomAD SVs v2.1 or DGV: Gold Standard Variants

- According to the GenCC, one submitter associated this gene with pulmonary arterial hypertension in the autosomal dominant mode of inheritance with Limited classification

- OMIM associated this gene with Aquaporin-1 deficiency, and with the Blood group, Colton
