SLC2A9 and ischemic stroke: We also looked at these top loci in Biobank Japan (BBJ)30,31, and SLC2A9 was correlated with lower serum uric acid concentration (Supplementary Fig. S5; p = 5.56 × 10−184), ischemic stroke (p = 1.73 × 10−4), urolithiasis (p = 2.02 × 10−4), and pulse pressure (p = 6.86 × 10−4).
