Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Although statins are efficacious for lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, there is wide interindividual variation in response. We tested the extent to which combined effects of common alleles of LDLR and HMGCR can contribute to this variability. METHODS AND RESULTS: Haplotypes in the LDLR 3'-untranslated region (3-UTR) were tested for association with lipid-lowering response to simvastatin...
