  • Title: Molecular biology of diabetes insipidus.
    Author: Fujiwara TM, Morgan K, Bichet DG.
    Journal: Annu Rev Med; 1995; 46():331-43. PubMed ID: 7541187.
    Abstract:
    The identification, characterization, and mutational analysis of three different genes, namely the prepro-arginine-vasopressin-neurophysin II gene (prepro-AVP-NPII), the arginine-vasopressin receptor 2 gene (AVPR2), and the vasopressin-sensitive water channel gene (aquaporin-2, AQP2), provide the basis for our understanding of three different hereditary forms of diabetes insipidus: autosomal dominant neurogenic diabetes insipidus, X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, and autosomal recessive nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, respectively. These advances provide diagnostic tools for physicians caring for these patients.
