Background: X-linked recessive congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is caused by mutations of the arginine vasopressin type 2 receptor gene (AVPR2). More than 200 mutations of the AVPR2 gene with complete NDI have been reported although only 15 mutations with partial NDI has been reported to date.Methods: We herein report a Japanese kindred with partial NDI. The proband is an 8-year-old boy who was referred to our hospital for nocturnal enuresis. Water deprivation test and hypertonic saline test suggested partial renal antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) resistance.Results: Analysis of genomic DNA revealed a novel missense mutation (p.L161P) in the patient. The patient's mother was heterozygous for the mutation. Three-dimensional (3-D) modeling study showed that L161P possibly destabilizes the transmembrane domain of the V2 receptor, resulting in its misfolding or mislocalization.Conclusions: Distinguishing partial NDI from nocturnal enuresis is important. A clinical clue for diagnosis of partial NDI is an incompatibly high level of AVP despite normal serum osmolality.
