Figure 1.
Messenger RNA levels of candidate genes in blood samples from gout patients and healthy individuals. (A) ABCF1 gene; (B) IL17REL gene; (C) FCGR3A gene. SYBR Green-based quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to test the transcription levels of candidate genes. Data of relative expression were analyzed by Student’s t-test. Data are illustrated as boxplots. Upper edge and lower edge of box represents the 75th percentiles and 25th percentiles, respectively. The line inside the boxes represents the median of data
