Large-scale whole-exome sequencing association studies identify rare functional variants influencing serum urate levels
8 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Elevated serum urate levels can cause gout, an excruciating disease with suboptimal treatment. Previous GWAS identified common variants with modest effects on serum urate. Here we report large-scale whole-exome sequencing association studies of serum urate and kidney function among ≤19,517 European ancestry and African-American individuals. We identify aggregate associations of low-frequency damaging...
