Background: Currently, there is no systematic analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) in the urate transporter genes (ABCG2 and SLC2A9), and the influence of their …

Methods: We consecutively enrolled 109 patients with gout and 102 healthy controls. The
diagnosis of gout was based on the preliminary criteria of the America College of …

Background and objective: Gout is a common form of inflammatory arthritis caused by the
crystallization of uric acid. Previous studies have demonstrated that the genetic …

Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether the risk of gout was associated with the
ABCG2 rs2231142 variant and how this was affected by metabolic parameters. Material and …

Background: Gout is an inflammatory disease in which genetic factors play a role. ABCG2 is
a urate transporter, and the Q141K and Q126X variants of ABCG2 have been associated …

The purpose of this research was to assess the contribution of 4 genetic polymorphisms to
the risk of gout. A systematic search was performed for qualified case-control studies on 4 …

Background Replication studies showed conflicting effects of ABCG2 and SLC2A9
polymorphisms on gout and serum urate. This meta-analysis therefore aimed to pool their …

The objective of the present study was to determine whether there was an association
between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ABCG2 and gout. We recruited 333 …

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the contribution of urate transporter genes and
alcohol use to the risk of gout/tophi. Eight variants of ABCG2, SLC2A9, SLC22A12 …

Gout is a common type of arthritis that is characterized by hyperuricemia, tophi, and joint
inflammation. Current evidence suggests that heredity contributes to the progression of gout …
