Abstract excerpt
Uric acid transporters mediate renal and extrarenal urate handling and may contribute to blood pressure (BP) regulation. This study examined the associations of common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in key urate transporter genes (SLC2A9, ABCG2, SLC17A3, SLC22A7, SLC22A6, SLC22A11, SLC22A12, and ABCC4) with salt sensitivity, longitudinal BP changes, and incident hypertension. Data were derived from the...
