Abstract excerpt
Studies in Caucasian and Asian populations consistently associated interindividual and interethnic variability in rosuvastatin pharmacokinetics to the polymorphisms SLCO1B1 c.521T>C (rs4149056 p. Val174Ala) and ABCG2 c.421C>A (rs2231142, p. Gln141Lys). To investigate the pharmacogenetics of rosuvastatin in African populations, we first screened 785 individuals from nine ethnic African populations for the SLCO1B1...
