Abstract excerpt
To elucidate the molecular mechanism of familial central diabetes insipidus (FDI), we sequenced the arginine vasopressin-neurophysin II (AVP-NPII) gene in 2 patients belonging to a pedigree that is consistent with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. 10 patients with idiopathic central diabetes insipidus (IDI) and 5 normals were also studied. The AVP-NPII gene, locating on chromosome 20, consists of three...
