Abstract excerpt
AIMS: This study assessed the association between pharmacokinetic- and pharmacodynamic-related genes and individual responses to low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) change by statins in a Chinese population. MATERIALS & METHODS: A total of 386 patients with primary hypercholesterolemia were treated with statins for 9 months. The 62 haplotype-tagging SNPs of ten candidate genes were genotyped. Treating...
