Background Serum uric acid (SUA), hyperuricemia (HUA) and gout are complex traits with
relatively high heritability. This study aims to identify whether a candidate gene, SLC28A2 …

Aims: Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis characterized by the deposition of monosodium
urate crystals. An important risk factor for gout is hyperuricemia. The relationship between …

SLC2A9 is a novel identified urate transporter influencing uric acid metabolism. It has been
suggested that the single-nucleotide polymorphisms in SLC2A9 may affect the serum UA …

Background Glucose transporter 9 (GLUT9) is a high-capacity/low-affinity urate transporter.
To date, several recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and follow-up studies …

Background Gout is a common arthritic disease resulting from elevated serum uric acid
(SUA) level. A large meta-analysis including 28,141 individuals identified nine single …

Background: Over the past few decades, gout and diseases like metabolic syndrome (MetS)
have become more prevalent. Attempts have been made in Taiwan to identify the genes …

Gout is a debilitating arthritis caused by elevated levels of serum urate in the blood
(hyperuricemia). The prevalence of gout is on the rise worldwide with particularly high rates …

Gout is a common inflammatory arthritis triggered by monosodium urate deposition after
longstanding hyperuricemia. In the general community, the disease is largely polygenic in …

Gout is a common arthritis resulting from increased serum urate, and many loci have been
identified that are associated with serum urate and gout. However, their influence on the …

Objective To determine the association of non-synonymous variants rs2280205 and
rs2276961 of the SLC2A9 gene to gout in Cameroonians. Results In a case–control study …
