    • Abstract:
      GOUT is often associated with eating certain foods, but it has now been linked to almost 400 gene variants in the largest study of its kind. "This study will significantly add to our understanding of the genetics of gout risk and may provide a road map to pathways that can be targeted for new gout therapies", says Owen Woodward at the University of Maryland.
