SLC17A1 and gout: Whilst other loci (SLC22A11, GCKR, INHBC, SLC17A1, RREB1, PDZK1, SLC16A9, LRRC16A) have been associated with serum urate concentrations at a genome-wide level of significance in genome-wide association scans [3,4], only some of them (SLC22A11, GCKR, INHBC, SLC17A1) were associated with gout at a nominal level of significance (P < 0.05) in 1,100 cases nested within a large genome-wide association scan population-based cohort [4].
