▶A genome wide association study of plasma uric acid levels in obese cases and never‐overweight controlsAssociationN=961Li WD et al.(2013)· Obesity
A genome-wide association study of 961 individuals (520 obese cases BMI>35, 440 normal-weight controls BMI<25) identified two loci reaching genome-wide significance for plasma uric acid levels: SLC2A9 (rs6449213, P=3.15×10⁻¹²) and DIP2C (rs877282, P=4.56×10⁻⁸). Five additional genes (F5, PXDNL, FRAS1, LCORL, MICAL2) showed weaker associations (P<1×10⁻⁵), and three previously identified uric acid genes (ABCG2, SLC17A1, RREB1) received marginal support.
About SLC2A9
This gene encodes a member of the SLC2A facilitative glucose transporter family. Members of this family play a significant role in maintaining glucose homeostasis. The encoded protein may play a role in the development and survival of chondrocytes in cartilage matrices. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.
