Hyperuricemia Subtypes Classified According to Renal Uric Acid Handling Manifesting Distinct Phenotypic and Genetic Profiles in People With Gout
Authors' conclusion
Hyperuricemia subtypes classified according to renal uric acid handling have subtype-specific clinical and genetic features, suggesting subtype-unique pathophysiologic mechanisms.
Study context
- Population
- People with gout in two large geographically independent cohorts
- Participants
- 4,873 people
- Exposure
- Hyperuricemia subtypes by renal uric acid handling
- Outcome
- Distribution of hyperuricemia subtypes
Methodological detailstwo geographically independent gout cohorts, weighted polygenic risk scores
- Two geographically independent gout cohorts
- Weighted polygenic risk scores
