  • Modulation of Genetic Associations with Serum Urate Levels by Body-Mass-Index in Humans - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 25811787

    ABSTRACT: We tested for interactions between body mass index (BMI) and common genetic variants affecting serum urate levels, genome-wide, in up to 42569 participants. Both stratified genome-wide association (GWAS) analyses, in lean, overweight and obese individuals, and regression-type analyses in a non BMI-stratified overall sample were performed. The former did not uncover any novel locus with a major main effect, but supported modulation of effects for some known and potentially new urate loci. The latter highlighted a SNP at RBFOX3 reaching genome-wide significant level (effect size 0.014, 95% CI 0.008-0.02, Pinter= 2.6 x 10-8). Two top loci in interaction term analyses, RBFOX3 and ERO1LB-EDARADD, also displayed suggestive differences in main effect size between the lean and obese stra

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Bloodwork

  • serum urate levels Moderate

    Carriers of the C allele show elevated serum urate, a risk factor for gout and kidney disease.

    Annual serum urate testing, or sooner if symptoms of gout develop.

Diet

  • reduce high-purine foods and fructose Moderate

    High-purine diets increase endogenous urate production; genetic predisposition increases susceptibility.

    Limit red meat, organ meats, high-fructose foods, and alcohol (especially beer).

Lifestyle

  • maintain healthy weight Moderate

    The urate-elevating effect of this variant is particularly pronounced in overweight individuals.

    If overweight, aim for gradual weight loss through balanced diet and exercise.
