摘要

We report the identification of two pathogenic variants in the ABCG2 gene, encoding a urate exporter, in two probands (male and female) with severe familial gouty phenotypes and hyperuricemia. Clinico-genetic analyses identified p.I63YfsTer54 (rs565722112) and p.G74D (rs199976573) as potentially causal mutations; functional analyses demonstrated that these two variants are deficient in plasma membrane localization and functionally null. Our data show that dysfunctional variants in the ABCG2 gene are strong risk factors for hyperuricemia and gout in both males and females.
