Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Gouty arthritis (gout) is the most common inflammatory arthritis in the United States and several other countries. Some rare forms of gout have a known genetic basis, but the relative importance of genetic factors on the risk for the lifetime prevalence of gout is not clear. METHODS: We performed a heritability analysis for hyperuricemia and gout among 514 unselected, all-male twin pairs who were a...
