A mutation was found in the same codon of the gene that results in a loss-of- function of arginine vasopressin receptor 2 (AVPR2) observed in congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.
We identified three novel mutations of the arginine vasopressin (AVP) V2 receptor (AVPR2) gene in Japanese families with X-linked congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI).
There are three inheritance patterns of CNDI: the X-linked recessive form associated with vasopressin V2 receptor gene mutations, and the autosomal recessive and dominant forms associated with aquaporin-2 gene (AQP2) mutations.
Hereditary nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is caused by mutations in either the X-chromosomal gene encoding the vasopressin V2-receptor or in the autosomal gene encoding aquaporin-2.
Congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (CNDI) is a rare inherited disease characterized by renal tubular unresponsiveness to the antidiuretic effect of arginine-vasopressin due to the mutations of two molecules, the vasopressin V2 receptor (AVPR2) and the aquasporin-2 water channel.
What is New: • We identified eight novel disease-causing variants in AVPR2: p.Arg68Alafs*124, p.Ser171Arg, p.Gln174Pro, p.Trp200Arg, p.Gly201Cys, p.Gly220Arg, p.Val226Glu, and p.Gln291Pro, thereby adding to the growing list of AVPR2 disease-causing variants and emphasizing the importance of genetic testing in CNDI.
This test also identified an unexpectedly high urinary osmolality (614 mosmol/kg) in a patient with a P322S mutation of AVPR2 gene and a mild form of CNDI.
About 90% of patients with congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus are males with the X-linked recessive form of the disease (OMIM 304800) who have mutations in the arginine vasopressin receptor 2 gene (AVPR2), which codes for the vasopressin V2 receptor.
Congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a rare X-linked inherited disorder characterized by the excretion of large volumes of diluted urine and caused by mutations in arginine vasopressin receptor 2 (AVPR2) gene.
Congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a disorder associated with mutations in either the AVPR2 or AQP2 gene, causing the inability of patients to concentrate their pro-urine, which leads to a high risk of dehydration.
A novel deletion mutation in the arginine vasopressin receptor 2 gene and skewed X chromosome inactivation in a female patient with congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.
Most cases of congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) are inherited in an X-linked manner, which is due to the mutations of the vasopressin type 2 receptor (V2R) gene.
