This replication study analyzed 2255 variants in LD with GWAS-identified gout/serum urate susceptibility loci in 1255 Han Chinese gout patients and 1848 controls. Twenty-three variants (41%) showed nominal association (p<0.05), with the strongest signal at ABCG2 rs1481012 (p=8.96×10⁻¹¹, OR=1.890). Previous gout-associated loci including ABCG2, SLC2A9, GCKR, ALDH2, and CNIH2 were replicated, while cumulative genetic risk scores showed that individuals with ≥8 risk alleles had significantly increased gout risk (OR=16.361 for ≥12 alleles).

A two-part genetic association study in Korean populations examining SNP associations with serum uric acid (SUA) concentration. Study 1 compared minor allele frequencies of 40 SNPs associated with SUA across Korean, Japanese, and European descent populations in 1,957 subjects. Study 2 analyzed associations in 402 RA patients, finding rs12734001 (PPP1R12B) most significantly associated with SUA levels (P_trend = 2.29 × 10^-9) and rs3741414 (INHBC) with P_trend = 0.01. Results showed Korean SNP frequencies were more similar to Japanese than European populations.

This replication study examined 2,255 variants in linkage disequilibrium with GWAS-identified gout/urate susceptibility loci in 1,255 Han Chinese gout patients and 1,848 controls. Twenty-three variants (41% of 56 LD-pruned variants) showed nominal association with gout (p < 0.05), with the strongest signals at ABCG2 (rs1481012, OR=1.890, p=8.96×10⁻¹¹) and SLC2A9 (rs11722228, OR=1.619, p=2.40×10⁻⁶). Cumulative genetic risk score analysis demonstrated increasing gout risk with growing numbers of risk alleles (OR=16.361 for ≥12 alleles vs ≤5 reference).
