Compared with the plotted pattern for all clinically defined gout patients, each gout subtype (RUE type, ROL type, combined type and normal type) shows a subtype-specific plotted pattern and indicates the presence of cause-specific associated genes such as SLC2A9 and ABCG2. Table 2 lists the genome-wide significant loci from subtype GWASs. This evidence concerns the gene ABCG2 and gout.
