Popis: Objective The aim of this study was to examine whether serum urate-associated genetic variants are associated with early-onset gout. Methods Participants with gout in the Genetics of Gout in Aotearoa study with available genotyping were included (n = 1648). Early-onset gout was defined as the first presentation of gout Results In the Genetics of Gout in Aotearoa study, there were 638 (42.4%) participants with early-onset gout. The ABCG2 rs2231142 gout risk T-allele was present more frequently in participants with early-onset gout compared with the later-onset group. For the other SNPs tested, no differences in risk allele number were observed. In the allelic association analysis, the ABCG2 rs2231142 T-allele was associated with early-onset gout in unadjusted and adjusted models. Analysis of the replication cohorts confirmed the association of early-onset gout with the ABCG2 rs2231142 T-allele, but not with other serum urate-associated SNPs. In the meta-analysis, the odds ratio (95% CI) for early-onset gout for the ABCG2 rs2231142 T-allele was 1.60 (1.41, 1.83). Conclusion In contrast to other serum urate-raising variants, the ABCG2 rs2231142 T-allele is strongly associated with early-onset gout.
