Genetic determinants of response to statins.

Expert review of cardiovascular therapy - 1 Aug 2009

Peters Bas J M, Klungel Olaf H, de Boer Anthonius, Maitland-van der Zee Anke-Hilse

Abstract excerpt

In developed countries, cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death. Statins are abundantly prescribed to reduce the risk of coronary artery disease by lowering cholesterol. Genetic factors are thought to be partly responsible for the interindividual variation in the response to statins. This article reviews the most important studies conducted on pharmacogenetics of statins. Currently, there is...
