Relationship between GLUT9 rs13137343 polymorphism and hyperuricemia in a Chinese male population

A possible association between the polymorphism of glucose transporter 9 (GLUT9) rs1 3137343 and hyperuricemia was investigated in Chinese male population and the calculated genotype frequencies and allelic frequencies by PCR method and direct sequencing were reported.Data showed that there was statistical difference in GLUT9 rs13137343 genotype frequencies between hyperuricemia cases and controls(x2 =7.024,P =0.030). Key words: Glucose transporter 9; Single nucleolide, polymorphism; Hyperuricemia
