Renal hypouricemia (RHUC) is a rare hereditary disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in the SLC22A12 (RHUC type 1) or SLC2A9 (RHUC type 2) genes, encoding urate transporters URAT1 and GLUT9, respectively, that reabsorb urate in the renal proximal tubule. This evidence concerns the gene SLC2A9 and hypouricemia, renal.
