Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: SLC2A9 is a strong genetic risk factor for hyperuricaemia and gout. SLC2A9 (GLUT9) is a high capacity urate transporter and reportedly transports glucose and fructose. Intake of fructose-containing beverages is associated with development of hyperuricaemia and gout. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether genetic variation in SLC2A9 influences the acute serum urate response to a fructose load. METHODS:...
