title: Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus due to a novel AVPR2 mutation.
abstract: 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. We report a novel AVPR2 mutation in a Turkish 18 month-old boy with skeletal anomalies.
