Functional analysis of novel allelic variants in URAT1 and GLUT9 causing renal hypouricemia type 1 and 2

摘要

Renal hypouricemia is a rare heterogeneous inherited disorder characterized by impaired tubular uric acid transport with severe complications, such as acute kidney injury and nephrolithiasis. Type 1 is caused by a loss-of-function mutation in the SLC22A12 gene (URAT1), while type 2 is caused by defects in the SLC2A9 gene (GLUT9).
