By using an additive model, after adjustment for age, sex, BMI, and smoking status and after Bonferroni correction, we observed a significant association of both MUC1 variants with waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, HbA1C, renal functional parameters (BUN, serum creatinine levels, and eGFR), albuminuria, red blood cell parameters (hematocrit, hemoglobin, and red blood cell count), serum ALT and uric acid levels, and gout (Table 2). Here, MUC1 is linked to gout.
