Genetic analysis for rs2280205 (A>G) and rs2276961 (T>C) in SLC2A9 polymorphism for the susceptibility of gout in Cameroonians: a pilot study.

Objective: To determine the association of non-synonymous variants rs2280205 and rs2276961 of the SLC2A9 gene to gout in Cameroonians.

Results: In a case-control study including 30 patients with acute gout matched to 30 healthy volunteers. We searched for polymorphism of the targeted variants using Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism following polymerize chain reaction.
