Abstract excerpt
The pathogenesis of gout involves a series of steps beginning with hyperuricaemia, followed by the deposition of monosodium urate crystal in articular structures and culminating in an innate immune response, mediated by the NLRP3 inflammasome, to the deposited crystals. Large genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of serum urate levels initially identified the genetic variants with the strongest effects, mapping...
