Abstract excerpt
AIM: To determine whether the SNP rs4149056 in SLCO1B1 alters the pharmacodynamics of pravastatin. METHODS: rs4149056 was genotyped in 626 pravastatin-treated participants in the WOSCOPS trial and the response after 1 year of treatment was compared between the different genotypes. RESULTS: Pravastatin reduced serum LDL cholesterol by 22.2% in TT homozygotes, by 22.2% in TC heterozygotes and by 17.7% in CC...
