Gene
SLC2A9
SLC2A9 helps the kidneys move uric acid between the blood and urine. Common changes in this gene are linked to small differences in blood uric acid. The direction is the same in men and women, but the average difference is larger in women. A blood test is needed to measure a person's level.
