Identification of Two Dysfunctional Variants in the ABCG2 Urate Transporter Associated with Pediatric-Onset of Familial Hyperuricemia and Early-Onset Gout

Identification of Two Dysfunctional Variants in the ABCG2 Urate Transporter Associated with Pediatric-Onset of Familial Hyperuricemia and Early-Onset Gout

The <i>ABCG2</i> gene is a well-established hyperuricemia/gout risk locus encoding a urate transporter that plays a crucial role in renal and intestinal urate excretion. Hitherto, p.Q141K—a common variant of ABCG2 exhibiting approximately one half the cellular function compared to the wi...
