Two Novel Aquaporin-2 Mutations Responsible for Congenital Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus in Chinese Families
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mutations in the aquaporin-2 gene (AQP2), encoding the vasopressin-regulated water channel of the renal collecting duct, are responsible for the autosomal recessive or dominant forms of congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. We describe two new families with normal hypotensive and coagulation responses following the administration of desamino-8-D-arginine AVP, a clinical suggestion of normal vasopressin-2 receptors. The patients were compound heterozygotes for point mutations at nucleotide position 170 (CAG to CCG; Q57P) and at position 299 (GGA to GTA; G100V) in exon 1 of the AQP2 gene. Expression of the G57P and G100V AQP2 proteins in Xenopus oocytes showed only 1.3-fold and 1.2-fold increase, respectively, in the water permeability in contrast to 8.0-fold increase in oocytes injected with wild-type cRNA. Immunoblots of oocyte lysate revealed the intensities of the 29-kDa bands were comparable among oocytes injected with wild-type and mutant cRNAs. Immunocytochemistry showed the plasma membrane was not stained in oocytes injected with cRNA of Q57P and of G100V. These results provide evidence that the Q57P and G100V mutations in congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus are attributable to the misrouting of AQP2.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
