Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus ( 35 Questions)
A nurse is discussing the genetic forms of Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus. Which of the following is an X-linked recessive form of the condition?
Incorrect. Autosomal dominant Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, not as an X-linked recessive trait.
Incorrect. Autosomal recessive Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, not as an X-linked recessive trait.
Incorrect. X-linked dominant inheritance is not associated with Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus. This condition can be caused by mutations in the AVPR2 gene (X-linked recessive) or the AQP2 gene (autosomal recessive).
Correct. X-linked recessive Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus is caused by mutations in the AVPR2 gene located on the X chromosome. It primarily affects males who inherit the mutated gene from their carrier mothers.
A) Incorrect. Autosomal dominant Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, not as an X-linked recessive trait.
B) Incorrect. Autosomal recessive Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, not as an X-linked recessive trait.
C) Incorrect. X-linked dominant inheritance is not associated with Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus. This condition can be caused by mutations in the AVPR2 gene (X-linked recessive) or the AQP2 gene (autosomal recessive).
D) Correct. X-linked recessive Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus is caused by mutations in the AVPR2 gene located on the X chromosome. It primarily affects males who inherit the mutated gene from their carrier mothers.
