Autosomal dominant neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus due to substitution of histidine for tyrosine(2) in the vasopressin moiety of the hormone precursor.

Only registered users can translate articles

The autosomal dominant form of familial neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus (adFNDI) has been linked to 40 different mutations of the gene encoding the vasopressin-neurophysin II (AVP-NPII) precursor. All of these mutations have been located in either the signal peptide or neurophysin II moiety. We

Clinical and molecular analysis of three families with autosomal dominant neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus associated with a novel and recurrent mutations in the vasopressin-neurophysin II gene.

OBJECTIVE To test further the hypothesis that autosomal dominant neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus (adFNDI) is caused by heterozygous mutations in the vasopressin-neurophysin II (AVP-NPII) gene that exert a dominant negative effect by producing a precursor that misfolds, accumulates and eventually

Enhanced noradrenergic activity in kidney of Brattleboro rats with diabetes insipidus.

Only registered users can translate articles

The possibility that sympathetic nervous system activity may be altered in Brattleboro rats with diabetes insipidus (DI) was studied using the norepinephrine (NE) turnover technique. Female DI and Long-Evans rats were used. NE turnover in peripheral organs was calculated by measuring the decline in

A novel missense mutation in the AVPR2 gene of a Japanese infant with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

Only registered users can translate articles

We describe an infant with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) with a novel mutation in the arginine vasopressin receptor 2 (AVPR2) gene. A 1-month-old infant showed failure to thrive and hypernatremia. The water deprivation test revealed elevated serum osmolality and low urine osmolality. The

Two novel mutations of the vasopressin gene associated with familial diabetes insipidus and identification of an asymptomatic carrier infant.

Only registered users can translate articles

Familial diabetes insipidus (FDI) is a syndrome of central vasopressin deficiency that is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner and that typically becomes clinically apparent in the first decade of life. Two novel mutations of the vasopressin gene have been identified in two previously unstudied

A novel arginine vasopressin-neurophysin II mutation causes autosomal dominant neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus and morphologic pituitary changes.

To determine the genetic basis of autosomal dominant neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus (ADNDI) in a Cypriot family, we ascertained and studied a large, four-generation kindred in which all participating family members had arginine vasopressin-neurophysin II (AVP-NP-II) gene analyses done. A G to A

A case of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus with a novel missense mutation in the AVPR2 gene.

Only registered users can translate articles

We describe a pediatric case of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) with a novel missense mutation in the arginine vasopressin receptor 2 (AVPR2) gene. The patient, a 3-year-old boy, had polyuria (4357 ml/day, 7230 ml/m(2)/day) and polydipsia. Water deprivation testing demonstrated no decrease of

Hereditary diabetes insipidus in rats. Altered cerebral indolamine and catecholamine metabolism.

Only registered users can translate articles

Compared to heterozygous Brattleboro animals, homozygous (diabetes insipidus) rats exhibited higher steady-state levels of serotonin in the mesencephalon, septum and striatum. These differences disappeared upon the administration of pargyline, suggesting accumulation of serotonin. The norepinephrine

Reversed polarized delivery of an aquaporin-2 mutant causes dominant nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

Only registered users can translate articles

Vasopressin regulates body water conservation by redistributing aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channels from intracellular vesicles to the apical surface of renal collecting ducts, resulting in water reabsorption from urine. Mutations in AQP2 cause autosomal nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI), a disease

A novel heterozygous missense mutation in the vasopressin moiety is identified in a Japanese person with neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus.

Only registered users can translate articles

The autosomal dominant familial neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus (adFNDI) is caused by diverse mutations in one allele of the gene that encodes the arginine vasopressin (AVP) precursor protein, AVP-neurophysin II (AVP-NP II). Most of the mutations identified so far are located in either the

Monamines in brain and urine of rats with hereditary hypothalamic diabetes insipidus.

Only registered users can translate articles

Monoamine levels in brain and urine of homozygous and heterozygous diabetes insipidus (DI) rats (Brattleboro strain) were assessed. Homozygous DI rats had a higher whole brain content of serotonin than their heterozygous littermates. However, when corrected for differences in brain weight,

Idiopathic central diabetes insipidus in children and young adults is commonly associated with vasopressin-cell antibodies and markers of autoimmunity.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Autoimmune targeting of hypothalamic-neurohypophyseal structures in children and young adults with posterior pituitary and anterior pituitary dysfunction, as well as pituitary stalk involvement, are not yet completely understood. METHODS We aimed to (1) evaluate the presence of circulating

AVPR2 variants and mutations in nephrogenic diabetes insipidus: review and missense mutation significance.

Only registered users can translate articles

Almost 90% of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is due to mutations in the arginine-vasopressin receptor 2 gene (AVPR2). We retrospectively examined all the published mutations/variants in AVPR2. We planned to perform a comprehensive review of all the AVPR2 mutations/variants and to test whether

The effect of vasopressin on renal blood flow and its distribution in the rat.

Anaesthetized Brattleboro rats with hereditary diabetes insipidus were infused with vasopressin at three different doses (1.3, 13 or 130 mu./hr) in order to study the effect of the hormone on renal blood flow and its distribution. Radioactive microspheres were used to determine intrarenal blood

The map of chromosome 20.

The number of gene assignments to human chromosome 20 has increased slowly until recently. Only seven genes and one fragile site were confirmed assignments to chromosome 20 at the Ninth Human Gene Mapping Workshop in September 1987 (HGM9). One fragile site, 13 additional genes, and 10 DNA sequences
