Abstract excerpt
Gout is a common type of inflammatory arthritis that is clinically and genetically heterogeneous. The genetic aetiology remains unclear, and mainly relies on previous genome‑wide association studies focused on sporadic cases. The present study aimed to identify the genetic basis of gout in three families using whole‑exome sequencing (WES). WES was performed in the probands, and family members were involved in the...
