Brief summary

This intervention study is designed to to examine the influence of genetic variation on inosine-induced hyperuricaemia. The primary endpoint is change in serum urate over 180 minutes after inosine ingestion. Key secondary and exploratory endpoints are change in fractional excretion of urate. The key genes of interest are SLC2A9 (GLUT9) and ABCG2. However, other genes associated with purine synthesis and urate transport may also be examined in later exploratory analyses.

Interventions

Oral inosine 1.5g will be administered under direct observation on a single occasion to all participants. Participants will then be observed for three hours.
