Kinesin-like protein 6 (KIF6) polymorphism and the efficacy of rosuvastatin in primary prevention.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Hypothesis-generating data raise the possibility that carriers of the kinesin-like protein 6 (KIF6) 719 arginine (Arg) allele preferentially benefit from statin therapy, and, on this basis, a commercial assay for KIF6 has been developed. METHODS AND RESULTS: In the recently completed...
