SLC2A9 and gout: Consistent with these findings, in a study of the risk allele of SLC2A9's influence of tophus occurrence in Chinese and Solomon Island population by Hung-Pin Tu et al.[26], it was found that the risk allele of rs3733591 was associated with tophaceous gout in Han Chinese subjects (p = 0.0044, OR 2.01 [95% CI 1.24–3.37]) and in Solomon Islanders (p = 0.0184, OR 2.15 [95% CI 1.13–4.09]).
