Abstract excerpt
We studied the genetic basis of familial neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus in a Japanese family. The members had polyuria and a deficiency of plasma vasopressin (AVP). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplified exons of the AVP-neurophysin-II gene were subcloned and sequenced. Exons 1 and 3 were normal, but nucleotide 1884 Guanine (G) in exon 2 was substituted with Thymine (T), which induced a substitution of...
