[Genetical and epidemiological study of uricaemia in a Pyrenean population. (Region of Sault - Pyrérées audoises) (author's transl)]
Abstract
Serum uric acid levels were determined in 229 individuals of Rodome and 127 individuals of Camurace, in the french Pyrénées. The difference of average levels between these two populations was found to be due very likely to different way of life. Intra-familial correlations suggest a greater importance of environmental than genetic factors on serum uric acid levels.
