Scientists Discuss Gout Findings

Scientists and Cozzarelli Prize winners Michael Köttgen and Owen Woodward discuss their gout research and more specifically their discovery of a urate transporter, ABCG2, that may play a role in causing gout. The study, "Identification of a urate transporter, ABCG2, with a common functional polymorphism causing gout," published in  Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States, demonstrated that  "at least 10% of all gout cases in whites are attributable to this causal variant."
