V2 vasopressin receptor dysfunction in nephrogenic diabetes insipidus caused by different molecular mechanisms

Abstract excerpt

Loss-of-function mutations in the V2 vasopressin receptor (AVPR2) gene have been identified as a molecular basis for X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI). Herein, we describe a novel deletion mutation at nucleotide position 102 (delG102) found in a Russian family resulting in a frameshift and a truncated receptor protein. Furthermore, we analyzed the AVPR2 gene of two other unrelated boys with NDI from...
