Possible gene-gender interaction between the SLCO1B1 polymorphism and statin treatment efficacy.

OBJECTIVES: A significant inter-individual variability in statin treatment efficacy is likely to have a strong genetic background. A candidate gene with the potential to influence statin treatment efficacy is SLCO1B1. This gene codes for the solute carrier organic anion transporter, which has been shown to regulate the hepatic uptake of.....
