Despite many studies of associations between several SLC genes and hyperuricemia-related traits in diverse ethnic groups (Matsuo et al. 2008; Köttgen et al. 2013; Phipps-Green et al. 2016; Nakayama et al. 2017), association with SLC15A2 has not been reported, according to the public databases. This evidence concerns the gene CCL21 and hyperuricemia.
