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

Statins, inhibitors of the hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase enzyme, are molecules of fungal origin. By inhibiting a key step in the sterol biosynthetic pathway statins are powerful cholesterol lowering medications and have provided outstanding contributions to the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Their detection in mycetes traces back

Coproporphyrin I (CPI) is an established endogenous biomarker for detecting drug–drug interactions (DDIs) involving the hepatic uptake transporter Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1, gene SLCO1B1). While CPI has been extensively studied in healthy volunteers using controlled pre‐ and post‐OATP1B1‐inhibitor sampling, its applicability ...

CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 contribute to clopidogrel bioactivation. CYP2C19 no‐function alleles diminish clopidogrel's antiplatelet effects and clinical effectiveness. Coadministration of either a CYP2C19 or a CYP3A4 inhibitor may also reduce clopidogrel's antiplatelet effects and lead to phenoconversion in patients without a CYP2C19 no‐function allele (normal/

"Who receives statins? Variations in physicians’ prescribing patterns for patients with coronary heart disease, dyslipidemia, and diabetes" [PDF]
Our objective is to estimate the extent to which clinical and non-clinical factors are associated with physicians’ prescribing patterns for statins. The data are from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey for the period 1992 through 2004. The three

Population Genomics Insights into Pharmacogenomic Differentiation Between East Asians and Europeans
Genetic variation contributes substantially to interindividual and interpopulation differences in drug response, yet most pharmacogenomic studies remain biased toward European populations. Here, we systematically assessed pharmacogenomic variation across East Asians (EAS) and Europeans (EUR) using public genomic datasets and investigated the potential ...

Genome-wide study of gene variants associated with differential cardiovascular event reduction by Pravastatin therapy [PDF]
Statin therapy reduces the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), however, the person-to-person variability in response to statin therapy is not well understood.

Genetic polymorphisms are common in pharmacogenes, with sometimes important implications for drug metabolism. Assessing the correct enzyme phenotype from genetic data is thus a crucial step into the development of personalized medicine. Many bioinformatics star‐allele callers have been developed for this purpose of identifying the correct star alleles ...

Plasma 4β‐hydroxycholesterol (4β‐OHC) normalized for the levels of its parent cholesterol (4β‐OHC/C) is an endogenous biomarker for hepatic CYP3A4. This study evaluated CYP3A4 activity longitudinally in individuals while their obesity status was changing. 4β‐OHC/C was measured pre‐surgery (n = 54) and 2 years after Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass (n = 30) and
