  • Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies multiple novel loci associated with serum uric acid levels in Japanese individuals - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30993211

    ABSTRACT: Gout is a common arthritis caused by elevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels. Here we investigated loci influencing SUA in a genome-wide meta-analysis with 121,745 Japanese subjects. We identified 8948 variants at 36 genomic loci (P<5 × 10-8) including eight novel loci. Of these, missense variants of SESN2 and PNPLA3 were predicted to be damaging to the function of these proteins; another five loci-TMEM18, TM4SF4, MXD3-LMAN2, PSORS1C1-PSORS1C2, and HNF4A-are related to cell metabolism, proliferation, or oxidative stress; and the remaining locus, LINC01578, is unknown. We also identified 132 correlated genes whose expression levels are associated with SUA-increasing alleles. These genes are enriched for the UniProt transport term, suggesting the importance of transport-re

  • Whole-Genome Sequencing Analysis of Human Metabolome in Multi-Ethnic Populations - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37253714

    ABSTRACT: Circulating metabolite levels may reflect the state of the human organism in health and disease, however, the genetic architecture of metabolites is not fully understood. We have performed a whole-genome sequencing association analysis of both common and rare variants in up to 11,840 multi-ethnic participants from five studies with up to 1666 circulating metabolites. We have discovered 1985 novel variant-metabolite associations, and validated 761 locus-metabolite associations reported previously. Seventy-nine novel variant-metabolite associations have been replicated, including three genetic loci located on the X chromosome that have demonstrated its involvement in metabolic regulation. Gene-based analysis have provided further support for seven metabolite-replicated loci pairs a

Lifestyle context

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

Bloodwork

  • serum uric acid level testing High

    SLC17A1 encodes a urate transporter; A allele carriers have significantly elevated serum uric acid levels

    Baseline test, then annually if elevated

Diet

  • high-purine foods Moderate

    Purine-rich foods increase serum uric acid; genetic predisposition amplifies this effect

    Limit red meat, organ meats, shellfish, high-fructose items

Discuss with your doctor

  • genetic uric acid predisposition and management Moderate

    SLC17A1 variants significantly increase serum uric acid risk; personalized management strategies may prevent gout and kidney complications

    Discuss preventive measures, monitoring plan, and medication if appropriate

Lifestyle

  • adequate hydration Moderate

    Hydration prevents uric acid crystallization and reduces gout risk in genetically predisposed individuals

    Drink at least 2-3 liters of water daily
