Familial forms of Meniere's disease in which the main etiologic factor is probably genetic are described. Among ninety-one patients with Meniere's disease from the county of Uppsala, the disease could be classified as being of familial origin in 14%. Different modes of inheritance were revealed. Aberrations in chromosome 7 were found in one mother and her daughter.
