Abstract excerpt
Familial neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus (FNDI) is an autosomally dominant inherited disorder with a typical onset at one to six years of age. The genetic locus of FNDI is the arginine vasopressin-neurophysin II (AVP-NPII) gene. The gene encoding the precursor hormone (prepro-AVP-neurophysin II) is located in the chromosomal region 20p13 and contains three exons. Mutations that cause FNDI have been found to...
