A genome-wide association study of gout in European populations identified 12 genetic variants strongly associated with risk of gout, but it is unknown whether these variants are also associated with gout risk in Chinese populations. A total of 145 patients with gout and 310 healthy control patients were recruited for a case-control association study. Twelve SNPs of CLNK and ZNF518B gene were genotyped, and...
