Abstract:
Genome-wide association study (GWAS) has been increasing rapidly worldwide in recent years, along with more attention to heredity and genetic polymorphism of diseases.The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is the most common genetic variant in the human genome, which can influence gene expression, transcription, translation and modification, and has become one of the important causes of disease susceptibility.Not only is uric acid related SNP susceptible to hyperuricemia and gout, but also plays an important role in the circulation, respiration, and nervous system diseases.Therefore, the present paper reviews the relationship between uric acid related SNP and clinical diseases in order to bring a new perspective on prevention and treatment.
