Abstract

The dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) showed multiple tophi in both hands with erosions in the bones and malformations in the joints [Figure 1]a,[Figure 1]b,[Figure 1]c,[Figure 1]d,[Figure 1]e. The serum lipid, fasting blood glucose, oral glucose tolerance test, and hemoglobin A1c were normal. [...]the UA level started to decline: 420 μmol/L (December 15), 371 μmol/L (December 18), and 302 μmol/L (December 21), and the 24-h urinary clearance rate of urate and creatinine increased to 6.92 and 98.45 ml/min, separately. [2] indicated that p.K159N is one of the loci leading to this disease. [...]WES indicated a single heterozygous point mutation c.206G>T on exon 3 of SLC17A3 gene located on chromosome 6 in the patient, altering the amino acid, p.S69I (NM_001098486).
