WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE: Cholesterol excretion by ATP binding cassette transporters G5 and G8 (ABCG5/G8) and bile acid biosynthesis by 7a-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) are major pathways for the removal of cholesterol into bile. This suggests that variations in the CYP7A1 and ABCG8 genes may influence the statin response. We aimed to investigate the effect of CYP7A1 A-204C and ABCG8 C1199A polymorphisms and their...
