Brief Summary
Gout is a chronic disease caused by the deposit of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in body tissues secondary to hyperuricemia. Patients with gout suffer severe attacks of acute joint pain. As the disease progresses, the joint pain becomes chronic and associated with disabling and deformative manifestations called tophi. Gout is strongly associated with various comorbidities including cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney failure. Gout is a very common disease, affecting 0.9% of the adult population in France and nearly 4% of the North-American population. Data from New Zealand show a particularly high prevalence of gout among Polynesians (minority populations in New Zealand and other islands of the South Pacific) that would be explained by genetic susceptibility and frequently intertwined with metabolic diseases. Recent findings obtained from the Polynesian population in New Caledonia disclose high prevalence figures close to 7%, a level expected to be confirmed by an epidemiology study that will be conducted in parallel with the present study and designed to determine the precise prevalence of gout in French Polynesia and the most frequently associated genetic variants.
