Abstract excerpt
Hyperuricemia is a common metabolic disorder with severe complications. We aimed to develop a mouse model for spontaneous hyperuricemia. Uox-/- mouse model was generated on C57BL/6J background by deleting exon 2-4 of Uox using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. The prototypic Uox -/-mice had 5.5-fold increased serum uric acid (1351.04±276.58μmol/L) as compared to the wild type mice (P<0.0001), but died by 4 weeks. After...
