Abstract excerpt
Statins are the most commonly used drugs in patients with dyslipidemia. Among the patients, a significant inter-individual variability with supposed strong genetic background in statin treatment efficacy has been observed. Genome wide screenings detected variants within the CELSR2/PSRC1/SORT1, CILP2/PBX4, APOB, APOE/C1/C4, HMGCoA reductase, LDL receptor and PCSK9 genes that are among the candidates potentially...
