Remark(s)
Genotype/Phenotype correlations
  • contiguous gene deletion of AVPR2 and ARHGAP4 genes causes nephrogenic diabetes insipidus and intellectual disability PMID: 22965914;;
  • contiguous gene deletion involving L1CAM and AVPR2 causes X-linked hydrocephalus with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
