Our aim was to identify potentially functional missense genetic variants in candidate inflammatory genes amplified in frequency that may underlie the increased prevalence of gout in Polynesian populations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A list of 712 inflammatory disease-related genes was generated. An in silico targeted exome set was extracted from whole genome sequencing data in people with gout of various ancestral groups (Polynesian, European, East Asian; n = 55, 780, 135, respectively) to identify Polynesian-amplified common missense variants (minor allele frequency &gt; 0.05). Candidate functional variants were tested for association with gout by multivariable-adjusted regression analysis in 2528 individuals of Polynesian ancestry.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We identified 26 variants common in the Polynesian population and uncommon in the European and East Asian populations.
