Gout-causing Q141K mutation in ABCG2 leads to instability of the nucleotide-binding domain and can be corrected with small molecules.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The multidrug ATP-binding cassette, subfamily G, 2 (ABCG2) transporter was recently identified as an important human urate transporter, and a common mutation, a Gln to Lys substitution at position 141 (Q141K), was shown to cause hyperuricemia and gout. The nature of the Q141K defect, however, remains undefined. Here we explore the Q141K ABCG2 mutation using a comparative approach, contrasting it with another disease-causing mutation in an ABC transporter, the deletion of Phe-508 (ΔF508) in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). We found, much like in ΔF508 CFTR, that the Q141K mutation leads to instability in the nucleotide-binding domain (NBD), a defect that translates to significantly decreased protein expression. However, unlike the CFTR mutant, the Q141K mutation does not interfere with the nucleotide-binding domain/intracellular loop interactions. This investigation has also led to the identification of critical residues involved in the protein-protein interactions necessary for the dimerization of ABCG2: Lys-473 (K473) and Phe-142 (F142). Finally, we have demonstrated the utility of using small molecules to correct the Q141K defect in expression and function as a possible therapeutic approach for hyperuricemia and gout.
