Association of the human urate transporter 1 with reduced renal uric acid excretion and hyperuricemia in a German Caucasian population
29 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Human urate transporter 1 (hURAT1) is a member of the organic anion transporter family (SLC22A12) that mainly regulates tubular urate reabsorption. Loss-of-function mutations result in idiopathic hypouricemia. The present case-control study was designed to analyze whether hURAT1 might also be a candidate gene for hyperuricemia with primary reduced renal urate excretion. METHODS: DNA samples from 389...
