Genotype Frequency of and Its Association with Paraclinical Characteristics and rs9263726 in Gout Patients.

: The allele is strongly linked to severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs) during allopurinol treatment, and it has been associated with the A allele of rs9263726 (G>A). Paraclinical characteristics of gout are indicative of associated comorbid conditions.

Chronic Post-Prandial Epigastric Pain Associated with Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome and Atherosclerosis of the Celiac Trunk in An Elderly Woman: A Case Report.
