A novel mutation in the vasopressin V2 receptor gene in a woman with congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.
A 56-year-old Japanese woman with congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (CNDI) is reported. She was diagnosed with CNDI accompanied by advanced gastric cancer. After total gastrectomy, approximately 500 ml fluid per hour was necessary to prevent dehydration. Urinary volume was decreased by administration of hydrochlorothiazide. We detected a novel mutation in the vasopressin V2 receptor gene of her chromosomal DNA. A substitution from G to A was found at the 631 nucleotide position, altering codon 12 from glycine (GGG) to glutamic acid (GAG) in the first extracellular domain. This missense mutation appeared to be the cause of her resistance to arginine vasopressin.
