    ABSTRACT: Vertigo is the leading symptom of vestibular disorders and a major risk factor for falls. In a genome-wide association study of vertigo (Ncases = 48,072, Ncontrols = 894,541), we uncovered an association with six common sequence variants in individuals of European ancestry, including missense variants in ZNF91, OTOG, OTOGL, and TECTA, and a cis-eQTL for ARMC9. The association of variants in ZNF91, OTOGL, and OTOP1 was driven by an association with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Using previous reports of sequence variants associating with age-related hearing impairment and motion sickness, we found eight additional variants that associate with vertigo. Although disorders of the auditory and the vestibular system may co-occur, none of the six genome-wide significant

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Discuss with your doctor

  • Vertigo risk and vestibular management strategy Moderate

    Genetic predisposition warrants preventive discussion and management planning with healthcare provider.

    Discuss at routine visit; review prevention strategies

Lifestyle

  • Balance and vestibular training Moderate

    Regular balance exercises improve proprioception and vestibular compensation for genetic predisposition.

    3-4 sessions per week, 20-30 minutes each

Screening

  • Balance and vestibular function screening Moderate

    Genetic variant increases vertigo risk; baseline vestibular assessment enables early detection.

    Baseline evaluation; annual follow-up if symptomatic
