Familial neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus (FNDI) in humans is an autosomal dominant
disorder caused by a variety of mutations in the arginine vasopressin (AVP) precursor. A
new report demonstrates how heterozygosity for an AVP mutation causes FNDI (see the
related article beginning on page 1697). Using an AVP knock-in mutation in mice, the study
shows that FNDI is caused by retention of AVP precursors and progressive loss of AVP-
producing neurons.
