The authors present a case report of DIDMOAD syndrome in a girl accompanied by the early development of a severe lesion in the urinary system. The molecular-genetic analysis of the Wfs1 gene revealed thhec.1009A>C,p.T337P missense mutation in exon 8 in the homozygous state. The brother of the patient developed diabetes mellitus that for the first time manifested itself at the age of 6 years. The molecular-genetic study of the boy undertaken bearing in mind his genetically aggravated anamnesis revealed the analogous mutation; this finding maybe used to predict further development of the disease.
