Levels of SUA as a function of SUA variant and variant combinations. Serum levels of SUA were measured, and rs1172228 at SLC2A9 and rs2231142 at ABCG2 were performed in 3800 participants. Beta values were determined after adjustment for variation in SUA levels due to age; sex; BMI; smoking status; drinking status; physical activity; ALT, FPG, and Cre concentrations; and prevalence of diabetes, CHD, and hypertension.
