Abstract excerpt
By screening patients with X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) for mutations within the V(2) vasopressin receptor (AVPR2) gene, we have identified six novel and two recurrent mutations. Additionally, one patient revealed a genomic deletion of 3.2 kb encompassing most of the AVPR2 gene and the last exon/3'-region of C1 gene, which is in close proximity to the AVPR2 locus. In-depth characterization of the...
