Gene Dose-Dependent and Additive Effects of ABCG2 rs2231142 and SLC2A9 rs3733591 Genetic Polymorphisms on Serum Uric Acid Levels.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to evaluate whether the single nucleotide polymorphisms of ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) and solute carrier family 2 member 9 (SLC2A9) affect individual blood uric acid levels using pyrosequencing. ABCG2 (rs2231142, rs72552713, rs2231137), SLC2A9 (rs3734553, rs3733591, rs16890979), and individual uric acid levels were prospectively analyzed in 250 healthy young Korean male participants. Prominent differences in uric acid levels of the alleles were observed in the SLC2A9 rs3733591 polymorphism: wild-type (AA) vs. heterozygote (AG), 0.7 mg/dL (p < 0.0001); AA vs. mutant type (GG), 1.32 mg/dL (p < 0.0001); and AG vs. GG, 0.62 mg/dL (p < 0.01). In ABCG2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), the statistically significant differences in uric acid levels wer
