Abstract excerpt
ObjectiveGout is a prevalent form of inflammatory arthritis in which many patients respond suboptimally to current therapies. Drug development is hampered by a lack of genetically validated targets, leading to high clinical trial attrition. This study aimed to systematically identify and prioritize novel, druggable targets for gout via a multilayered genetic and functional genomics approach.MethodsWe performed...
