Using Taiwan Biobank and the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD), we examined hyperlipidemia, sex, and their relationship with gout among Taiwanese adults with the human leukocyte antigen B (HLA-B) genetic variants. Hyperlipidemia was present in 1437 patients with gout. Sex and hyperlipidemia had significant associations on gout risk, with hyperlipidemia showing a relatively stronger effect. Gout was present in men, with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.945 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.568\u20132.411) compared to women, and in hyperlipidemic (OR = 4.032; 95% CI: 3.581\u20134.540) compared to non-hyperlipidemic patients. The interaction of sex and hyperlipidemia was significant for rs2523608 GG (p = 0.0402) and rs4713518 AA (p = 0.0003) genotypes. After stratification, hyperlipidemia remained a risk factor in women (OR = 4.735, 95% CI: 3.375\u20136.643) and men (OR = 3.640, 95% CI: 2.916\u20134.544) with rs2523608 GG genotype. The odds ratio in hyperlipidemic women and men with rs4713518 AA genotype was 7.454 (95% CI 5.103\u201310.888) and 3.585 (95% CI 2.854\u20134.503), respectively. Our study indicates that hyperlipidemia-sex interactions exist for gout risk in Taiwanese adults with rs2523608 GG and rs4713518 AA genotypes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/genes10030246","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,27]],"date-time":"2019-03-27T05:03:12Z","timestamp":1553662992000},"page":"246","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The Interaction between Sex and Hyperlipidemia on Gout Risk Is Modulated by HLA-B Polymorphic Variants in Adult Taiwanese"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Tsui-Wen","family":"Hsu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 40201, Taiwan"},{"name":"Superintendent Office, Cathay General Hospital, Taipei 106, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pei-Shyuan","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family Medicine, Neihu Clinic, Attending physician, Cathay General Hospital, Taipei 106, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Oswald Ndi","family":"Nfor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Institute of Public Health, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 40201, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chia-long","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Cathy General Hospital, Taipei 106, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pei-Hsin","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Institute of Public Health, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 40201, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Disline Manli","family":"Tantoh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Institute of Public Health, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 40201, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Long-Yau","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 40201, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ming-Chih","family":"Chou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 40201, Taiwan"},{"name":"School of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 40201, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yu-Chen","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry, Cathy General Hospital, Taipei 106, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2046-4964","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yung-Po","family":"Liaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Institute of Public Health, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 40201, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Family and Community Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University Hospital, Taichung 40201, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"223","DOI":"10.1186\/ar3199","article-title":"Epidemiology of gout","volume":"12","author":"Roddy","year":"2010","journal-title":"Arthritis Res.
