Blood uric acid level and IQ: a study in twin families (1984)

"The significant correlation between plasma uric acid level and IQ suggests a contribution of partly common gene loci to the two quantitative traits."

The most illuminating thing I've read about genetics research recently was the comment that we are increasingly finding that most traits are related to most genes. It's like doing a statistical analysis on any pair of complex software features and trying to figure out which transistors are used by both - the answer is going to be "most of them".

FYI, that's from 1984

I guess my gout comes with a little bit of good news.

Does the study control for wealth of the family? If not, it's poorly designed.
