The frequency of single nucleotide polymorphisms and their association with uric acid concentration based on data from genome-wide association studies in the Korean population
AssociationN=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 PDZK1

This gene encodes a PDZ domain-containing scaffolding protein. PDZ domain-containing molecules bind to and mediate the subcellular localization of target proteins. The encoded protein mediates the localization of cell surface proteins and plays a critical role in cholesterol metabolism by regulating the HDL receptor, scavenger receptor class B type 1. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with metabolic syndrome, and overexpression of this gene may play a role in drug resistance of multiple myeloma. Pseudogenes of this gene are located on the long arm of chromosome 1. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
