Figure 4. Loss of function mutations of the V2 receptor in X-linked nephrogenic DI. In X-linked NDI, germ-line mutations of the V2-receptor gene result in loss of function of the receptor. One of the best characterised V2R mutations producing NDI changes amino acid 137, affecting the third intracellular loop of the receptor (R137H).
