Abstract

EN: Summary]This study aimed to test the effects of five single nucleotide polymorphisms within SLC2A9 on uric acid level in a special ethnic population, the Uygurs in Xinjiang, China. According to our inclusion and exclusion criteria, Uygur adults from Xinjiang constituted the study population. There were 1053 Uygur adults with hyperuricemia and 1373 normal Uygur adults who served as controls. Five single nucleotide polymorphisms within SLC2A9 (rs938557, rs7679916, rs7349721, rs13101785, and rs13137343) were selected with the HapMap dataset and TaqMan assays. We found that, in normouricemia group, rs938557 was significantly correlated with uric acid (β=11.39±3.74, P=0.0024) adjusting for age, gender and BMI; rs7679916 and rs13137343 were marginally associated with uric acid concentration (β=5.77±3.09, P=0.0626; β= 5.99±3.08, P=0.0520). In the hyperuricemia group, no SNP was found to possibly influence uric acid concentration. None of these SNPs showed significant association with hyperuricemia after controlling for age, gender and BMI. There were significant or marginal correlations between certain single nucleotide polymorphisms in the SLC2A9 region and uric acid concentration in Uygur normouricemia samples. In turn, some of these single nucleotide polymorphisms in SLC2A9 may increase the risk of hyperuricemia.
