Abstract
Aims: Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis characterized by the deposition of monosodium urate crystals. An important risk factor for gout is hyperuricemia. The relationship between SLC22A12 gene variants and the susceptibility to hyperuricemia has been reported, but these findings have been inconsistent. Thus, we aimed to assess the relationship between SLC22A12 gene variants and hyperuricemia susceptibility through a meta-analysis. Methods: The meta-analysis was performed by searching PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases. The relationship between hyperuricemia risk and the SLC22A12 rs11602903, rs524023, rs3825018, rs3825016, rs11231825, rs7932775, rs893006, and rs475688 variants was assessed by odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Results: In total, 20 eligible publications with 4817 cases and 6819 controls were included in the meta-analysis. Hyperuricemia risk was significantly associated with the SLC22A12 alleles rs3825018, rs7932775, and rs475688 under both the dominant and recessive models and with rs3825016 under the allelic and dominant models. Conclusions: Under the allelic model SLC22A12 rs3825018 and rs3825016 were risk factors for hyperuricemia and gout as was rs7932775 under dominant and recessive models, while the SLC22A12 rs475688 was protective against hyperuricemia under both dominant and recessive models.

Polymorphisms of ABCG2 and SLC22A12 Genes Associated with Gout Risk in Vietnamese Population. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2019; 55:medicina55010008. [PMID: 30621105 PMCID: PMC6359270 DOI: 10.3390/medicina55010008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2018] [Revised: 12/13/2018] [Accepted: 01/03/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Background and objective: Gout is a common form of inflammatory arthritis caused by the crystallization of uric acid. Previous studies have demonstrated that the genetic predisposition of gout varies in different ethnic populations. However the association study of genetic variants with gout remains unknown in the Vietnamese population. Our study aimed to assess the relationship between polymorphisms in ABCG2 and SLC22A12 and gout susceptibility in Vietnamese. Materials and methods: Genomic DNA was extracted from blood of a total of 170 patients with gout and 351 healthy controls. We genotyped single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): rs72552713, rs12505410 of the ABCG2 gene and rs11231825, rs7932775 of the SLC22A12 gene using polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) and then confirmed 10% of randomly selected subjects by Sanger sequencing. Results: Three SNPs (rs72552713 and rs12505410 and rs11231825) were in accordance with Hardy–Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) (p > 0.05) while rs7932775 was not (p < 0.05). For rs72552713, CT genotype was significantly different between gout patient and control groups (p < 0.001) and the T allele was associated with an increased risk of gout (OR = 21.19; 95% CI: 3.00–918.96; p < 0.001). Serum uric acid and hyperuricemia differed significantly between CC and CT genotype groups (p = 0.004 and 0.008, respectively). For rs11231825, a protective effect against gout risk was identified in the presence of the C allele when compared with the T allele (OR = 0.712; 95% CI: 0.526–0.964 p = 0.0302). In contrast, no significant difference of allele frequencies between gout patients and controls was detected for rs12505410 (p > 0.05). However, significant differences in serum uric acid and systolic blood pressure were obtained among gout patients. Conclusion: Our results suggest that ABCG2 rs72552713 and SLC22A12 rs11231825 are likely associated with gout in the Vietnamese population in which T allele may be a risk factor for gout susceptibility.

Abstract
Gout is a common form of inflammatory arthritis caused by hyperuricemia and the deposition of Monosodium Urate (MSU) crystals. It is also considered as a complex disorder in which multiple genetic factors have been identified in association with its susceptibility and/or clinical outcomes. Major genes that were associated with gout include URAT1, GLUT9, OAT4, NPT1 (SLC17A1), NPT4 (SLC17A3), NPT5 (SLC17A4), MCT9, ABCG2, ABCC4, KCNQ1, PDZK1, NIPAL1, IL1β, IL-8, IL-12B, IL-23R, TNFA, MCP-1/CCL2, NLRP3, PPARGC1B, TLR4, CD14, CARD8, P2X7R, EGF, A1CF, HNF4G and TRIM46, LRP2, GKRP, ADRB3, ADH1B, ALDH2, COMT, MAOA, PRKG2, WDR1, ALPK1, CARMIL (LRRC16A), RFX3, BCAS3, CNIH-2, FAM35A and MYL2-CUX2. The proteins encoded by these genes mainly function in urate transport, inflammation, innate immunity and metabolism. Understanding the functions of gout-associated genes will provide important insights into future studies to explore the pathogenesis of gout, as well as to develop targeted therapies for gout.

Variants of ALPK1 with ABCG2, SLC2A9, and SLC22A12 increased the positive predictive value for gout. J Hum Genet 2017; 63:63-70. [PMID: 29215084 DOI: 10.1038/s10038-017-0368-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2017] [Revised: 09/14/2017] [Accepted: 09/17/2017] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
We investigated the interactions of ALPK1 variants and the loci of ABCG2, SLC2A9, and SLC22A12 on gout risk. We conducted two case-control studies. Participants were recruited from hospitals (n = 410; 104 gout cases and 306 controls) and communities (n = 678; 373 gout cases and 305 controls) in Taiwan. The genotypes of ALPK1 (rs11726117 M861T, rs231247 R1084R, and rs231253 3' UTR), ABCG2 (rs2231142 Q141K and rs2231137 V12M), SLC2A9 (rs3733591 R265H and rs1014290), and SLC22A12 (rs3825016 H86H, rs11231825 H142H, and rs475688) were genotyped. Under a recessive model, the joint effects of ALPK1 variants and the SNPs rs2231142 of ABCG2, rs1014290 of SLC2A9, or rs475688 and rs3825016 of SLC22A12 were associated with gout. The rs11726117 [CC] of ALPK1 and rs2231142 [TT] of ABCG2 with the sequential addition of the rs1014290 [AA] of SLC2A9 and rs3825016 [CC] of SLC22A12 were associated with gout risk (odds ratio (OR): 13.01, 15.11, and 55.00 and positive predictive value (PPV): 56%, 69%, and 99% in the Han group, respectively; OR: 3.76, 5.78, and 12.30 and PPV: 74%, 80%, and 81% in the aboriginal group, respectively). Combined exposure to the four high-risk genotypes of ALPK1 and the uric-acid-related loci of ABCG2, SLC2A9, and SLC22A12 was associated with an increased gout risk and a high PPV for gout.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to identify a protein for urate transporter 1 (URAT1) regulation. Methods The clinical dataset consisted of 492 case-control samples of Han Chinese (104 gout and 388 controls). Three alpha kinase 1 ( ALPK1 ) and SLC22A12 loci associated with high gout risk and uric acid levels were genotyped. The overexpression of ALPK1 on URAT1 protein expression was evaluated in vivo in h ALPK1 transgenic mice. The in vitro protein levels of ALPK1 and URAT1 in ALPK1 small interfering RNA-transfected human kidney-2 cells with MSU crystal stimulation were examined. Results ALPK1 , which is a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of rs11726117 (M861T; T), reduced the risk of gout via the SLC22A12 gene SNPs rs3825016 and rs475688, as compared with the subject of ALPK1 rs11726117 (C) allele {rs11726117 [CT + TT] vs rs3825016, odds ratio [OR] 0.39 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.23, 0.67]; rs11726117 [CT + TT] vs rs475688, OR 0.39 [95% CI 0.23, 0.67]}. ALPK1-overexpressed mice demonstrated lower levels of URAT1 protein ( P = 0.0045). Mouse endogenous ALPK1 proteins were detected in renal proximal tubule cells. MSU crystals inhibited URAT1 expressions through an upregulation of ALPK1 in human kidney-2 cells. Conclusion Elevated ALPK1 expression decreased URAT1 expression. ALPK1 might prevent the impact of urate reuptake via SLC22A12 and appeared to be negatively associated with gout. ALPK1 is a potential repressor of URAT1 protein expression.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the contribution of urate transporter genes and alcohol use to the risk of gout/tophi. Eight variants of ABCG2, SLC2A9, SLC22A12, SLC22A11 and SLC17A3 were genotyped in male individuals in a case-control study with 157 gout (33% tophi), 106 asymptomatic hyperuricaemia and 295 control subjects from Taiwan. The multilocus profiles of the genetic risk scores for urate gene variants were used to evaluate the risk of asymptomatic hyperuricaemia, gout and tophi. ABCG2 Q141K (T), SLC2A9 rs1014290 (A) and SLC22A12 rs475688 (C) under an additive model and alcohol use independently predicted the risk of gout (respective odds ratio for each factor=2.48, 2.03, 1.95 and 2.48). The additive composite Q141K, rs1014290 and rs475688 scores of high-risk alleles were associated with gout risk (P<0.0001). We observed the supramultiplicative interaction effect of genetic urate scores and alcohol use on gout and tophi risk (P for interaction=0.0452, 0.0033). The synergistic effect of genetic urate score 5-6 and alcohol use indicates that these combined factors correlate with gout and tophi occurrence.

Abstract
Background Gout is a common arthritic disease resulting from elevated serum uric acid (SUA) level. A large meta-analysis including 28,141 individuals identified nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with altered SUA level in a Caucasian population. However, raised SUA level alone is not sufficient for the development of gout arthritis and most of these SNPs have not been studied in a Han Chinese population. Here, we performed a case–control association analysis to investigate the relationship between these SUA correlated SNPs and gout arthritis in Han Chinese. Methods A total of 622 ascertained gout p9atients and 917 healthy controls were genotyped. Genome-wide significant SNPs, rs12129861, rs780094, rs734553, rs742132, rs1183201, rs12356193, rs17300741 and rs505802 in the previous SUA study, were selected for our analysis. Results No deviation from the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium was observed either in the case or control cohorts (corrected p > 0.05). Three SNPs, rs780094 (located in GCKR, corrected p = 1.78E−4, OR = 0.723), rs1183201 (located in SLC17A1, corrected p = 1.39E−7, OR = 0.572) and rs505802 (located in SLC22A12, corrected p = 0.007, OR = 0.747), were significantly associated with gout on allelic level independent of potential cofounding traits. While the remaining SNPs were not replicated. We also found significant associations of uric acid concentrations with these three SNPs (rs780094 in GCKR, corrected p = 3.94E−5; rs1183201 in SLC17A1, corrected p = 0.005; rs505802 in SLC22A12, corrected p = 0.003) and of triglycerides with rs780094 (located in GCKR, corrected p = 2.96E−4). Unfortunately, SNP-SNP interactions for these three significant SNPs were not detected (rs780094 vs rs1183201, p = 0.402; rs780094 vs rs505802, p = 0.434; rs1183201 vs rs505802, p = 0.143). Conclusions Three SUA correlated SNPs in Caucasian population, rs780094 in GCKR, rs1183201 in SLC17A1 and rs505802 in SLC22A12 were confirmed to be associated with gout arthritis and uric acid concentrations in Han Chinese males. Considering genetic differences among populations and complicated pathogenesis of gout arthritis, more validating tests in independent populations and relevant functional experiments are suggested in future.

Association analysis of the SLC22A11 (organic anion transporter 4) and SLC22A12 (urate transporter 1) urate transporter locus with gout in New Zealand case-control sample sets reveals multiple ancestral-specific effects. Arthritis Res Ther 2014; 15:R220. [PMID: 24360580 PMCID: PMC3978909 DOI: 10.1186/ar4417] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2013] [Accepted: 12/12/2013] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is inconsistent association between urate transporters SLC22A11 (organic anion transporter 4 (OAT4)) and SLC22A12 (urate transporter 1 (URAT1)) and risk of gout. New Zealand (NZ) Māori and Pacific Island people have higher serum urate and more severe gout than European people. The aim of this study was to test genetic variation across the SLC22A11/SLC22A12 locus for association with risk of gout in NZ sample sets. METHODS A total of 12 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variants in four haplotype blocks were genotyped using TaqMan® and Sequenom MassArray in 1003 gout cases and 1156 controls. All cases had gout according to the 1977 American Rheumatism Association criteria. Association analysis of single markers and haplotypes was performed using PLINK and Stata. RESULTS A haplotype block 1 SNP (rs17299124) (upstream of SLC22A11) was associated with gout in less admixed Polynesian sample sets, but not European Caucasian (odds ratio; OR = 3.38, P = 6.1 × 10-4; OR = 0.91, P = 0.40, respectively) sample sets. A protective block 1 haplotype caused the rs17299124 association (OR = 0.28, P = 6.0 × 10-4). Within haplotype block 2 (SLC22A11) we could not replicate previous reports of association of rs2078267 with gout in European Caucasian (OR = 0.98, P = 0.82) sample sets, however this SNP was associated with gout in Polynesian (OR = 1.51, P = 0.022) sample sets. Within haplotype block 3 (including SLC22A12) analysis of haplotypes revealed a haplotype with trans-ancestral protective effects (OR = 0.80, P = 0.004), and a second haplotype conferring protection in less admixed Polynesian sample sets (OR = 0.63, P = 0.028) but risk in European Caucasian samples (OR = 1.33, P = 0.039). CONCLUSIONS Our analysis provides evidence for multiple ancestral-specific effects across the SLC22A11/SLC22A12 locus that presumably influence the activity of OAT4 and URAT1 and risk of gout. Further fine mapping of the association signal is needed using trans-ancestral re-sequence data.

Abstract
Gout is a common inflammatory arthritis triggered by the crystallization of uric acid within the joints. Gout affects millions worldwide and has an increasing prevalence. Recent research has been carried out to better qualify and quantify the risk factors predisposing individuals to gout. These can largely be broken into nonmodifiable risk factors, such as gender, age, race, and genetics, and modifiable risk factors, such as diet and lifestyle. Increasing knowledge of factors predisposing certain individuals to gout could potentially lead to improved preventive practices. This review summarizes the nonmodifiable and modifiable risk factors associated with development of gout.

Abstract
Gout is the most common inflammatory arthropathy and occurs in the setting of elevated serum urate levels. Gout is also known to be associated with multiple comorbidities including cardiovascular disease and the metabolic syndrome. Recent advances in research have increased our understanding and improved our knowledge of the pathophysiology of gout. Genome-wide association studies have permitted the identification of several new and common genetic factors that contribute to hyperuricemia and gout. Most of these are involved with the renal urate transport system (the uric acid transportasome), generally considered the most influential regulator of serum urate homeostasis. Thus far, SCL22A12, SCL2A9, and GLUT9 have been found to have the greatest variation and most influence on serum urate levels. However, genetics are only a part of the explanation in the development of hyperuricemia and gout. As results have been mixed, the role of known urate influential genes in gout's associated comorbidities remains unclear. Regardless, GWAS findings have expanded our understanding of the pathophysiology of hyperuricemia and gout, and will likely play a role in the development of future therapies and treatment of this ancient disease.

Absence of the SLC22A12 gene mutation in Turkish population with primary gout disease. Rheumatol Int 2012; 33:2921-5.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to examine whether SLC22A12 gene mutations might be influenced in primary gout disease. We included 32 patients with diagnosis of primary gout disease and 100 healthy volunteers. DNA was purified from peripheral blood, and all exons of the SLC22A12 gene were sequenced. We did not find any mutations in the SLC22A12 gene in all of the patients, but found 5 polymorphisms in exons 1 (g.T258C, g.C246T), 2 (g.C1246T) and 8 (g.T8011C) and in intron 9 (g.C8577T). However, we have not found any significant differences in the frequency of the individual genotypes between patients with primary gout disease and control group. In addition, the polymorphisms were not associated with hyperuricemia in our patients with primary gout disease. There was no previously reported mutation/polymorphisms of SLC22A12 gene in Turkish population. Our study is the first one in Turkish population and suggests that there is no association between primary gout disease and SLC22A12 gene polymorphisms. Sequence changes in the promotor and intronic regions of SLC22A12 gene should be investigated further with larger case groups.

Abstract
Gout is a common and very painful inflammatory arthritis caused by hyperuricaemia. This review provides an update on the genetics of hyperuricaemia and gout, including findings from genome-wide association studies. Most of the genes that associated with serum uric acid levels or gout are involved in the renal urate-transport system. For example, the urate transporter genes SLC2A9, ABCG2 and SLC22A12 modulate serum uric acid levels and gout risk. The net balance between renal urate absorption and secretion is a major determinant of serum uric acid concentration and loss-of-function mutations in SLC2A9 and SLC22A12 cause hereditary hypouricaemia due to reduced urate absorption and unopposed urate secretion. However, the variance in serum uric acid explained by genetic variants is small and their clinical utility for gout risk prediction seems limited because serum uric acid levels effectively predict gout risk. Urate-associated genes and genetically determined serum uric acid levels were largely unassociated with cardiovascular-metabolic outcomes, challenging the hypothesis of a causal role of serum uric acid in the development of cardiovascular disease. Strong pharmacogenetic associations between HLA-B*5801 alleles and severe allopurinol-hypersensitivity reactions were shown in Asian and European populations. Genetic testing for HLA-B*5801 alleles could be used to predict these potentially fatal adverse effects.

Abstract
Gout is a chronic arthritic disease associated with high levels of urate in blood. Recent advances in research have permitted the identification of several new and common genetic factors underlying the disease. Among them, a polymorphism in the ABC transporter gene ATP-binding cassette transporter isoform G2 has been highlighted. ATP-binding cassette transporter isoform G2 was found to be involved in renal urate elimination, and the presence of the Q141K polymorphism to induce a 2-fold decrease in urate efflux. The Q141K variant has been shown to have impaired trafficking, leading to its intracellular retention, whereas the wild type protein is expressed on the cell surface. Several agents are being studied for the purpose of improving folding, trafficking and function of various ABC transporters, including ATP-binding cassette transporter isoform G2. If successful, this strategy opens doors to potential new therapies for gout.

Abstract
Gout affects 1-2% of adults in developed countries, where it is the most common inflammatory arthritis in men. Epidemiological data are consistent with a rise in the prevalence of gout. Diet and genetic predisposition seem to be the main causal factors of primary gout. Gout and hyperuricaemia are associated with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and renal and cardiovascular diseases. Genetic studies have found that variants of GLUT9 and ABCG2 were associated with urate levels.
