[Clinical and laboratory characteristics of arginine vasopressin resistance, caused by a new homozygous mutation p.R113C in AQP2].

ABSTRACT: Congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (CNDI, arginine vasopressin resistance) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by insensitivity of the kidney to the antidiuretic effect of vasopressin. NDI is clinically characterized by polyuria with hyposthenuria and nocturia and polydipsia. In the majority of cases, about 90%, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is an X-linked recessive disorder caused by mutations in the AVP V2 receptor gene (AVPR2). In the remaining cases, about 10%, the disease is autosomal recessive or dominant and, for these patients, mutations in the aquaporin 2 gene (AQP2) have been reported. To date, the nucleotide variants registered in AQP2 were sporadic, there is no data on the presence of «frequent» mutations and the prevalence of the disease both among the global population and among individual ethnic groups. In this paper, we describe 12 cases of arginine vasopressin resistance caused by a new homozygous mutation p.R113C in AQP2 presented among the indigenous population of the Republic of Buryatia.
