COCH and autoimmune inner ear disease: There are data suggesting that Cochlin is overexpressed in the vestibular endorgans of subjects with persistent Ménière’s disease (Calzada et al., 2012) and in autoimmune inner ear disease (Pathak et al., 2013), which may contribute to the dysregulation of the environmental balance within the inner ear in Ménière’s disease (Calzada et al., 2012).
