Polymorphisms in the presumptive promoter region of the SLC2A9 gene are associated with gout in a Chinese male population.

Polymorphisms in the presumptive promoter region of the SLC2A9 gene are associated with gout in a Chinese male population.

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 have identified genetic variants of SLC2A9 associated with urate concentrations and susceptibility to gout. We therefore i...
