Abstract
Recent identification of the urate transporter in the kidney (URAT1, encoded by SLC22A12) led to the molecular elucidation of idiopathic renal hypouricemia, which is a predisposition toward exercise-induce acute renal failure. One Japanese patient with renal hypouricemia demonstrated compound heterozygous mutations of the URAT1 gene (Q297X and IVS2+1G>A). It was suggested that these two mutations are recurrent mutations of the URAT1 gene in a Japanese population. In addition, we expect the prevalence of renal hypouricemia, 0.23%, from the analysis of serum urate levels in 1,730 Japanese children.
