Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Drug resistance phenomenon has become a serious problem in the lipid lowering drugs in the treatment of cardiac and dyslipidemic patients. Statins are the mainstay pharmacological treatment for dyslipidemia, metabolized by CYP3A4 gene. CYP3A4 genetic variants are involved in statins resistance, of which CYP3A4*4 and CYP3A4*1G has been observed as important loss of function alleles. OBJECTIVES: The...
