Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus (ADNDI) is an inherited disorder in which progressive degeneration of magnocellular neurons of the hypothalamus impairs production of arginine vasopressin (AVP). ADNDI is caused by mutations in the arginine vasopressin-neurophysin II (AVP-NPII) gene. These mutations are hypothesized to trigger neurodegeneration via disruption of preproAVP-NPII processing....
