Abstract

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a rare genetic disease that causes water imbalance. The kidneys play a crucial role in regulating body fluids by controlling water balance through urine excretion. This highlights their essential function in managing the body's water levels, but individuals with NDI may have excess urine production (polyuria), that leads to excessive thirst (polydipsia). Untreated affected individuals may exhibit poor feeding and failure to thrive. This disease is caused by mutations in the AVPR2 and the AQP2 genes which have the X-linked and autosomal recessive/dominant inheritance, respectively. Both of these genes are expressed in the kidney.

肾源性糖尿病患者的遗传分析：对伊朗人口的研究

肾源性糖尿病（NDI）是一种罕见的遗传疾病，会导致体内水分失衡。肾脏通过排泄尿液控制水分平衡，在调节体液方面发挥着至关重要的作用。这凸显了肾脏在管理体内水分含量方面的重要功能，但 NDI 患者可能会出现尿液分泌过多（多尿症），从而导致过度口渴（多饮症）。未经治疗的患者可能会表现出进食不良和无法茁壮成长。这种疾病是由 AVPR2 和 AQP2 基因突变引起的，这两种基因分别为 X 连锁遗传和常染色体隐性/显性遗传。这两个基因都在肾脏中表达。

期刊介绍： Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine is a peer-reviewed journal for rapid dissemination of quality research related to the dynamically developing areas of human, molecular and medical genetics. The journal publishes original research articles covering findings in phenotypic, molecular, biological, and genomic aspects of genomic variation, inherited disorders and birth defects. The broad publishing spectrum of Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine includes rare and common disorders from diagnosis to treatment. Examples of appropriate articles include reports of novel disease genes, functional studies of genetic variants, in-depth genotype-phenotype studies, genomic analysis of inherited disorders, molecular diagnostic methods, medical bioinformatics, ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI), and approaches to clinical diagnosis. Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine provides a scientific home for next generation sequencing studies of rare and common disorders, which will make research in this fascinating area easily and rapidly accessible to the scientific community. This will serve as the basis for translating next generation sequencing studies into individualized diagnostics and therapeutics, for day-to-day medical care. Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine publishes original research articles, reviews, and research methods papers, along with invited editorials and commentaries. Original research papers must report well-conducted research with conclusions supported by the data presented.
