Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Patients with dyslipidemia are often treated with statins to reduce lipids and hence cardiovascular risk, but treatment response is variable, partly due to genetic factors. METHODS: We studied the influence of 6 gene variants (APOE c.526C > T (APOE2), APOE c.388T > C (APOE4), SLCO1B1 c.521T > C, CYP3A4 c.-392G > A, HMGCR c.1564-106A > G, and LPA c.3947 + 467T > C) on statin efficacy assessing 2...
