Lack of association between SLCO1B1 polymorphisms and clinical myalgia following rosuvastatin therapy.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Carriers of the rs4363657C and rs4149056C alleles in SLCO1B1 have increased myopathic complaints when taking simvastatin. Whether rosuvastatin has a similar effect is uncertain. This study assesses whether SLCO1B1 polymorphisms relate to clinical myalgia after rosuvastatin therapy. METHODS: In the JUPITER trial, participants without prior cardiovascular disease or diabetes who had low-density...
