Although of marginal significance, associations with SLC17A1-17A3 (rs11969868, P = 0.014), ABCG2 (rs2231146, P = 0.029) and ABCC4 (rs4148499, P = 0.049) were also observed among the twins.
Although of marginal significance, associations with SLC17A1-17A3 (rs11969868, P = 0.014), ABCG2 (rs2231146, P = 0.029) and ABCC4 (rs4148499, P = 0.049) were also observed among the twins.
SNPs on SLC17A3 , SLC22A10 , SLC22A8 , SLC22A11 and ABCC4 were nominally significant at P ≤ 0.05 (Table 1 ).
Conversely, minor alleles on SLC22A8 rs3793961 (P = 0.004) and ABCC4 rs1751003 (P = 0.0001) were associated with lower serum uric acid levels among men only. Discussion The highly significant association of ABCG2 with uric acid in patients with CKD may be one of the first human examples suggesting a likely compensatory intestinal extrusion of uric acid in patients with low GFR.
