GWAS analysis of 2.5m people (120k with gout) showing identifies 1486 candidate causal genes for gout. Looking at urate handling as well as disease propagation (eg. IL1/6). Widespread GWAS allowing us to investigate these diseases differently.

#ACR highlights - #pegloticase in #gout - less reactions and more benefit w #MTX MIRROR RCT. Better than no MTX. Will change my practice - if I can access to a #peguricase, I will Rx w concomitant MTX Abst#0001 #ACR22 @RheumNow
