Abstract excerpt
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is characterized by a resistance of the kidney towards arginine vasopressin (AVP). Following molecular cloning of the vasopressin V2 receptor, we identified different mutations in the V2 receptor gene in families with X-linked NDI, which segregated with the di...
