Abstract excerpt
Objective: Gout is characterized by recurrent attacks of arthritis with hyperuricaemia and urate crystal-induced inflammation. Although urate transporters are known as risk factors, the immunogenetics of gouty inflammation remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the genetic association between immune/metabolism regulators and gout. Methods: We enrolled 448 gout patients and 943 population controls from...
