Abstract excerpt
Whole-genome studies have identified several intronic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in SLCO1B1 associated with simvastatin-induced myopathy. The present study determined the effect of an intronic SNP rs4149081 in SLCO1B1 on the lipid-lowering effects of simvastatin and rosuvastatin in Chinese patients with hypercholesterolaemia. Lipid profiles were determined off treatment and after at least 4 weeks of...
