Objective The Māori and Pacific (Polynesian) population of Aotearoa New Zealand has a
high prevalence of gout. Our aim was to identify potentially functional missense genetic …

A genome-wide association study of gout in European populations identified 12 genetic
variants strongly associated with risk of gout, but it is unknown whether these variants are …

Objective To examine the role of genetic variation in the renal urate transporter SLC2A9 in
gout in New Zealand sample sets of Māori, Pacific Island, and Caucasian ancestry and to …

Introduction The C allele of the nonsynonymous Arg265His (rs3733591) variant of SLC2A9
confers risk for gout in Han Chinese, Solomon Island and Japanese samples, with a …

Gout is a common inflammatory arthritis triggered by the presence of monosodium urate
(MSU) crystals in joints and connective tissues. Current evidence suggests that heredity …

Objective The aim of this study was to determine whether polymorphisms in solute carrier
family 2 and facilitated glucose transporter member 9 (SLC2A9) are associated with …

There is a paucity of genome-wide association study on Han Chinese gout patients. We
performed a genome-wide association meta-analysis on two Taiwanese cohorts consisting …

Objective Gout, caused by hyperuricaemia, is a multifactorial disease. Although genome-
wide association studies (GWASs) of gout have been reported, they included self-reported …

Objective A genome-wide association study (GWAS) of gout and its subtypes was performed
to identify novel gout loci, including those that are subtype-specific. Methods Putative causal …

Background Gout is a highly hereditary disease, but not all those carrying well-known risk
variants have developing gout attack even in hyperuricemia status. We performed a genome …
