Diving deeper into relevant illnesses during the festivities, Fadhli and Esther sat down to discuss gout or hyperuricemia. The condition once dubbed as the "rich man's disease" turned out to have quite a bit of genetic implication, both on the pathophysiology and even on the pharmacogenomics of it. We focused on the important mainstay drug for gout, Allopurinol, and the presence of certain genetic variation that increases the likelihood of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. The episode also spoke about how this condition is markedly higher in certain populations, including Asians.
