OBJECTIVE: The CC genotype of the C3435T polymorphism in ABCB1 is associated with increased P-glycoprotein expression, reduced low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) response to atorvastatin, and a reduced area-under-the-curve in pharmacokinetic studies. We sought to assess the relationship between 1) genotype and Atorvastatin efficacy, independently of variation in cholesterol metabolism and 2) genotype and...
