Abstract

Recent studies suggest that hyperuricemia is a potential risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Hyperuricemia is highly heritable and is associated with sex and body weight. Previous genome-wide association studies have found that the ABCG2 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2231142 is an important genetic factor for increased uric acid (UA) levels, and the degree of association between rs2231142 and hyperuricemia is affected by both sex and ethnicity. This investigation aimed to analyze the association between ABCG2 polymorphisms and UA levels, as well as their interactions with sex and obesity in Taiwanese. Two genetic polymorphisms around the ABCG2 gene were genotyped in 459 patients. After adjusting for clinical covariates, the rs2231142 SNP was found significantly associated with UA levels using a dominant inheritance model. Patients carrying the rs2231142-A allele had a higher frequency of hyperuricemia than those with the rs2231142-CC allele. Subgroup analysis revealed an association of rs2231142 with UA levels in male or obese patients, and there was no association in nonobese female patients. The rs2231142 SNP is associated with serum UA levels and hyperuricemia in Taiwanese patients and it occurs predominan...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
