Hyponatremia resulting from Arginine Vasopressin Receptor 2 gene mutation

Abstract: Chronic hyponatremia, unless associated with extracellular fluid volume expansion, is an infrequent electrolyte imbalance in pediatrics. We report an infant with chronic hyponatremia suggestive of a syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH), in the absence of ADH secretion. A mutation was found in the same codon of the gene that results in a loss-of- function of arginine vasopressin receptor 2 (AVPR2) observed in congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. In this case, a gain-of- func… Show more

“…By comparison with ‘classical’ SIADH, the excellent efficacy of these treatments in avoiding episodes of hyponatremia is quite unexpected. Indeed, NSIAD is often characterized by marked antidiuresis as evidenced by elevated Uosm, sometimes higher than 1,000 mosm/kg [4,5] with a maximal reported value of 1,467 mosm/kg [8]. In ‘classical’ SIADH, the efficacy of conventional doses of urea (e.g.…”

“…This syndrome is characterised by clinical and laboratory features typical of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) [2][3][4][5] in the presence of undetectable arginine vasopressin (AVP) levels [6]. Additional cases of the syndrome were subsequently reported in another infant and in three adult male individuals [7,8].…”

“…Since this first description, 12 other pediatric cases have been reported, 11 being males and 1 of them being a 10-month-old female [1,3,5,6,7,8,9]. Most patients carried mutations that led to the substitution of arginine 137 by either a cysteine or leucine (R137C/L), and only 1 recently reported patient carried a mutation leading to phenylalanine 229 to valine (F229V) substitution in V2R [11].…”
