Familial neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus (FNDI; OMIM 192340) is a rare inherited disorder with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. It is characterized by persistent polydipsia and polyuria induced by deficient or absent secretion of arginine vasopressin (AVP). We report a Korean kindred in whom FNDI is associated with a novel deletion mutation in exon 2 of the AVP-NPII gene encoding the neurophysin II...
