We investigated SLC44A2 polymorphism p.152R/Q linked to venous thromboembolism as a factor in severity of Meniere's disease We showed a trend for association of the heterozygous state to severe Meniere's disease We demonstrated the isoform 1 and isoform 2 distribution in human tissue types We demonstrated linkage disequilibrium of rs2288904 with rs3087969 We placed these findings in context with the role of SLC44A2 in other human diseases
