Abstract excerpt
Autosomal-dominant familial neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus (adFNDI) is caused by heterozygous mutations in the gene encoding vasopressin-neurophysin II (AVP-NPII) on chromosome 20p13. We analyzed the AVP-NP II gene in a family with adFNDI by direct sequencing. A novel C to T transition (289C-->T in the cDNA, resulting in the substitution of Arg 97 by Cys (R97C) in the prepro-AVP-NPII precursor molecule) was...
