摘要: The statins are the most important group of drugs for lipid-lowering therapy in prevention coronary heart disease. Greater reductions LDL-cholesterol appear to be associated with greater benefits but clinical efficacy and safety statin treatment varies considerably from person because a combination phenotypic genotypic factors. Pharmacogenetic studies have investigated relationship between common genetic variants lipid responses adverse events, some candidate genes related pharmacodynamics pharmacokinetics different been identified. Some these show frequency ethnic groups. This field pharmacogenetic research is receiving considerable attention many new findings reported recently. pharmacogenomic likely provide bet- ter understanding effects help prediction appropriate drug dosage each individual whether addition or substitution other modifying may necessary achieve safe effective
