Abstract:
Gout is a self-limiting inflammation disease triggered by deposition of monosodium urate with a variety of comorbidities. With the improvement of living standards, the global incidence of gout is increasing year by year, which seriously affects people's health. As an effective tool to study diseases, omics technology has been widely used to discover potential biomarkers and risk factors of gout. The identified variation sites or different-expressed products provide different dimensions of insights for the study of the pathogenesis and disease progression of gout. In this review, the application and research results of multi-omics technology in gout were analyzed and summarized through PubMed literature retrieval. Meanwhile, the recent research progress of multi-omics technology in the field of gout was reviewed to understand the specific changes of gout patients at different molecular levels, and to provide ideas and directions for further research on gout in the future.
