Abstract excerpt
Statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS) are frequent adverse effects of statin therapy and have been hypothesized to result from impaired coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) biosynthesis. Although genetic determinants of CoQ10 levels have been reported, genome-wide association studies (GWASs) conducted specifically in statin users are lacking. Moreover, direct CoQ10 measurements are unavailable in large-scale proteomic...
