Identification of Two Novel Dysfunctional Variants in a Physiologically Important Urate Transporter ABCG2 in Paediatric-onset Familial Hyperuricemia and Gout Patients in Three Generations
Background/Purpose: ABCG2 is a high-capacity urate transporter gene. Common dysfunctional variants of ABCG2 that result in decreased urate excretion in humans are major causes of…Abstract Number: 0659 • ACR Convergence 2020
Polynesian-Specific Gout-Associated Frameshift Variant in PRPSAP1
Background/Purpose: Polynesian (NZ Māori and Pacific) populations have increased prevalence of gout. Hyperuricaemia is contributed to by increased urate production in the liver via the…Abstract Number: 0660 • ACR Convergence 2020
Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter-2 Inhibitors and the Risk for Gout – a Comparison Among Canagliflozin, Dapagliflozin and Empagliflozin
Background/Purpose: Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2-i) are anti-diabetic drugs that have a urate-lowering effect. SGLT2-i had a more favorable impact on gout risk than glucagon-like peptide-1…Abstract Number: 0662 • ACR Convergence 2020
Cause-Specific Mortality in Patients with Gout in the Veteran’s Health Administration: A Matched Cohort Study
