Three SNPs, rs780094 (located in GCKR, corrected p = 1.78E−4, OR = 0.723), rs1183201 (located in SLC17A1, corrected p = 1.39E−7, OR = 0.572) and rs505802 (located in SLC22A12, corrected p = 0.007, OR = 0.747), were significantly associated with gout on allelic level independent of potential cofounding traits. The gene discussed is SLC17A1; the disease is gout.
