Abstract:
:Familial neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus (FNDI) is mostly an autosomal dominant inherited disorder presenting with severe polydipsia and polyuria typically in early childhood. To date, 69 different variations in the AVP gene encoding the AVP prohormone have been identified in autosomal dominant FNDI (adFNDI). In this study we present a family of seven generations, in which a novel variation in the AVP gene seems to cause adFNDI. Clinical assessment by 24 h urine collection, water deprivation test, desmopressin (dDAVP) challenge, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the posterior pituitary are presented. The diagnosis of adFNDI was confirmed by direct DNA sequence analysis of the AVP gene. Inheritance pattern and clinical history clearly pointed towards adFNDI. Inability of concentrating urine upon dehydration was demonstrated by a water deprivation test, and neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus was strongly suspected after dDAVP administration, during which renal concentration ability quadrupled. MRI revealed a very weak pituitary "bright spot" in each of six subjects and a further reduction in the size of the neurohypophysis in a 7-year follow-up MRI scan in one subject. DNA sequence analysis revealed heterozygousity for a novel g.1785T > C gene variation predicting a p.Leu63Pro substitution in four affected subjects. Genetic testing in the diagnostic evaluation of families in which diabetes insipidus segregates is highly recommended in that interpretation of clinical assessments can be difficult. Furthermore, presymptomatic diagnosis can ease the parental concern of the carrier status of their offspring, and also avoid unnecessary surveillance of those being unaffected.
