Genome‐Wide Association and Functional Studies Reveal Novel Pharmacological Mechanisms for Allopurinol
29 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
Allopurinol, which lowers uric acid (UA) concentration, is increasingly being recognized for its benefits in cardiovascular and renal disease. However, response to allopurinol is variable. We gathered samples from 4,446 multiethnic subjects for a genome‐wide association study of allopurinol response. Consistent with previous studies, we observed that the Q141K variant in ABCG2 (rs2231142), which encodes the...
