Although there are genetic differences between Caucasian and Asian populations, they have many shared associated genes3,27 that exert major effects, such as ABCG2, SLC2A9, and SLC22A12, all of which are well-known representative urate transporters in humans and which are important as therapeutic target molecules for gout and hyperuricemia. This evidence concerns the gene SLC2A9 and hyperuricemia.
