Résumé
The Māori and Pacific (Polynesian) population of Aotearoa New Zealand has a high prevalence of gout. Our aim was to identify potentially functional missense genetic variants in candidate inflammatory genes amplified in frequency that may underlie the increased prevalence of gout in Polynesian populations. A list of 712 inflammatory disease-related genes was generated. An in silico targeted exome set was extracted from whole genome sequencing data in people with gout of various ancestral groups (Polynesian, European, East Asian; n = 55, 780, 135, respectively) to identify Polynesian-amplified common missense variants (minor allele frequency > 0.05). Candidate functional variants were tested for association with gout by multivariable-adjusted regression analysis in 2528 individuals of Polynesian ancestry. We identified 26 variants common in the Polynesian population and uncommon in the European and East Asian populations. Three of the 26 population-amplified variants were nominally associated with the risk of gout ( We provide nominal evidence for the existence of population-amplified genetic variants conferring risk of gout in Polynesian populations.
