Genetic contributions to female gout and hyperuricaemia using genome-wide association study and polygenic risk score analyses

ConclusionThe variants in geneSLC2A9 are the major genetic factors for females associated with gout in those aged ≥50. PRS can provide a more robust prediction of the gout/AH under a homogeneous selection of variants that show effects on the traits.
