ABSTRACT |
Patients with recurrent vertigo/dizziness or unsteadiness are a heterogeneous
group of complex disorders affecting the peripheral and central vestibular system.
They represent a diagnostic challenge for the clinicians, and their genetic basis
is largely not known. However, there are some cerebellar and vestibular disorders
with a strong genetic background, such as episodic ataxia, spinocerebellar ataxia,
vestibular migraine, Meniere’s disease, and autosomal dominant nonsyndromic
deafness. Furthermore, recent advances in next generation sequencing technique
are increasing the number of novel genes associated with cerebellar and vestibular
disorders. In this article, we have summarized clinical and molecular genetics
findings in neuro-otology. |
