  2. All analyses are adjusted in a multivariable model for the other risk factors. OR calculations were done in a logistic regression model. For the gout cohort in a model including age, the OR was 0.5 (0.4; 0.6). For SLC2A9 rs12498742, PAF and AAF were calculated under a dominant model for the A-allele
