Genetic polymorphisms in ABCB1 are correlated with the increased risk of atorvastatin-induced muscle side effects: a cross-sectional study.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic factors are recognized as risk factors for statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS), which are the most common cause of statin intolerance. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is an association between polymorphisms 1236C > T, 2677G > T/A, and 3435C > T in the ABCB1 gene, encoding the efflux transporter of statins, and SAMS, as results on this topic are still controversial. A...
