Abstract excerpt
Cholesterol-lowering response to 40 mg simvastatin daily for 6 weeks was examined for associations with common genetic polymorphisms in key genes affecting simvastatin metabolism (CYP3A4 and CYP3A5) and transport (SLCO1B1). In white people (n = 608), SLCO1B1 521C was associated with lesser reductions of total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Associations between SLCO1B1 521C and cholesterol response were...
