Abstract excerpt
Hyperuricemia (serum urate >6.8 mg/dl) is associated with several cardiometabolic and renal diseases, such as gout and chronic kidney disease. Previous studies have examined the shared genetic basis of chronic kidney disease and hyperuricemia in humans either using single-variant tests or estimating whole-genome genetic correlations between the traits. Individual variants typically explain a small fraction of...
