▶The frequency of single nucleotide polymorphisms and their association with uric acid concentration based on data from genome-wide association studies in the Korean populationAssociationN=2,359Chang-Nam Son et al.(2014)· Rheumatology International
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.
About PPP1R12B
Myosin phosphatase is a protein complex comprised of three subunits: a catalytic subunit (PP1c-delta, protein phosphatase 1, catalytic subunit delta), a large regulatory subunit (MYPT, myosin phosphatase target) and small regulatory subunit (sm-M20). Two isoforms of MYPT have been isolated--MYPT1 and MYPT2, the first of which is widely expressed, and the second of which may be specific to heart, skeletal muscle, and brain. Each of the MYPT isoforms functions to bind PP1c-delta and increase phosphatase activity. This locus encodes both MYTP2 and M20. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. Related pseudogenes have been defined on the Y chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]
