Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Statins are widely prescribed for cardiovascular risk reduction and are generally well tolerated. However, they can cause drug-induced liver injury (DILI), and the genetic factors contributing to statin-DILI remain poorly understood. METHODS: HLA association and genome-wide association (GWAS) studies were conducted to identify genetic variants associated with statin-DILI. High-confidence cases (n=71)...
