Abstract excerpt
Interindividual variability exists in statin lipid-lowering response, partially attributed to genetic factors. Organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) encoded by SLCO1B1 gene (solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1) facilitates hepatic uptake of simvastatin and atorvastatin. SLCO1B1 polymorphisms are strongly associated with statin-induced myopathy whereas few studies have...
