Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hypouricemia is a disorder that serum urate level is less than 2.0 mg/dl, and relatively common in the Japanese population, where the main genetic cause of hypouricemia is W258X and R90H mutations in human urate trasnsporter 1(SLC22A12). Small scale screening has relied on time-consum...
