Abstract Background: Hyperuricemia is a metabolic disorder which is characterized by increased serum uric acid levels, which can contribute to serious health issues such as gout, cardiovascular disease, and kidney damage. Epigenetic modifications, for example, DNA methylation, exert a crucial function in gene regulation and have been implicated in various metabolic disorders. The ATP-Binding Cassette Subfamily G Member 2 (ABCG2) gene is involved in uric acid excretion, and its expression can be influenced by methylation of its promoter region. Methods: This study involved the design of three guide RNA (gRNA) sequences targeting specific CpG sites within… More >
