Bedwetting is very common, and substantial evidence demonstrates negative influence on the child. The aim of the project is to improve the treatment of bedwetting by:
1) testing a formula, which can predict the chance of response to treatment very precisely based on information about the child
2) pointing at new risk genes for bedwetting to understand the condition and find new treatment targets,
3) evaluating the safety of a newly approved drug formulation of desmopressin, which is first line treatment.
