Abstract Background Renal hypouricemia (RHUC) is a hereditary disorder where mutations in SLC22A12 gene and SLC2A9 gene cause RHUC type 1 (RHUC1) and RHUC type 2 (RHUC2), respectively. These genes regulate renal tubular reabsorption of urates while there exist other genes counterbalancing the net ex...
