Alternative titles and symbols : BEDWETTING;
Description : Nocturnal enuresis, or nightly bedwetting in children more than 7 years of age, affects
about 10% of 7-year-old children, with a wide range of frequencies between populations.
The affliction is often linked to major social maladjustments and occupies considerable
time in general medical practice. From the age of 7, there is a spontaneous cure rate
of 15% per year, such that few remain affected after the age of 16 years. There are
2 types of nocturnal enuresis: type I, the primary form (PNE), with at least 3 nightly
episodes in children older than 7 years, where the child has always had the disorder,
and type II, or secondary type, where the child has been dry for at least 6 months
but enuresis has recurred (summary by Eiberg et al., 1995). - Genetic Heterogeneity
