Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Gout is associated with dyslipidaemia. Association of the apolipoprotein A1-C3-A4 gene cluster with gout has previously been reported in a small study. To investigate a possible causal role for this locus in gout, we tested the association of genetic variants from APOA1 (rs670) and APOC3 (rs5128) with gout. METHODS: We studied data for 2452 controls and 2690 clinically ascertained gout cases of...
