Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to clarify the genetic overlaps underlying obesity-related traits, serum urate, and gout. METHODS: We conducted a comprehensive genome-wide cross-trait analysis to identify genetic correlation, pleiotropic loci, and causal relationships between obesity (the exposure variable), gout (the primary outcome) and serum urate (the secondary outcome). Summary statistics were collected from the...
