Limited Utility of Existing Hearing Loss Panels in the Assessment of Early-Onset, Bilateral Meniere's Disease. [PDF]
OTO OpenAbstract Objective While the etiology of Meniere's disease (MD) is likely multifactorial, genetics are thought to play a role. Several previous studies have yielded inconclusive results, potentially due to phenotypic uncertainty and variable diagnostic criteria.

inPHAP: Interactive visualization of genotype and phased haplotype data [PDF]
, 2014 Background: To understand individual genomes it is necessary to look at the variations that lead to changes in phenotype and possibly to disease. However, genotype information alone is often not sufficient and additional knowledge regarding the phase of ...
