Abstract excerpt
X-linked congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (CNDI) is characterized by a defective renal response to the antidiuretic hormone (AVP) due to variations in the arginine vasopressin receptor 2 (AVPR2) gene. In a unique group of patients, the renal insensitivity to the effects of AVP is incomplete resulting in a partial phenotype. To investigate the molecular defects, two previously published variations in the...
