Abstract excerpt
Aim: To describe the diversity of pharmacogenetic variants of statins among Sri Lankans. Materials & methods: Variant data of relevant genes were obtained from an anonymized database of 426 Sri Lankans. Minor allele frequencies (MAFs) were compared with published data from other populations. Results: The MAF of SLCO1B1*5 (rs4149056 [T>C]) was 18.19% (95% CI: 14.53-21.85). MAFs of CYP2C9*2 (rs1799853 [C>T]) and...
