SLCO1B1 haplotypes are not associated with atorvastatin-induced myalgia in Brazilian patients with familial hypercholesterolemia

Abstract: Our findings reaffirm that the SLCO1B1 genetic risk appears to be greater in those patients receiving simvastatin compared with those receiving atorvastatin. This suggests that the importance of SLCO1B1 haplotypes depends on the specific statin that has been used.

“…Results of the STRENGTH study showed a nonsignificant increase in myotoxicity in SLCO1B1*5 carriers taking atorvastatin [10]. In addition, three small studies and a meta-analysis did not find a statistically significant association between the SLCO1B1 521C variant and myotoxicity in patients using atorvastatin [13,16,61,62]. It must be taken into account that these studies included a rather small number of patients and there is a possibility that they were not able to detect an actual association.…”

“…All patients were of Croatian ancestry. Median (interquartile range) age was 56 (48-66) and 60 (53)(54)(55)(56)(57)(58)(59)(60)(61)(62)(63)(64)(65)(66)(67)(68)(69)(70) in the groups of patients with and without ADRs, respectively. The gender distribution was identical, and atorvastatin median prescribed dose was the same in both groups.…”

“…In recent years, an increasing number of studies began to explore the role of SLCO1B1 polymorphisms in statin-induced ADRs. However, the results remain inconsistent and with limited power (Link et al 2008; de Keyser et al 2014; Marciante et al 2011; Voora et al 2009; Danik et al 2013; Donnelly et al 2011; Carr et al 2013; Santos et al 2012; Brunham et al 2012). …”

“…Genotypes for the ACTN3 rs1815739 (R577X) polymorphism were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by high resolution melting (HRM) analysis with the Rotor Gene 6000® instrument (Qiagen, Courtaboeuf, France) [6]. Amplification of the fragments was performed using the primer sense 5'-TCAGTTCAAGGCAACACTGC-3' and antisense 5'-CTTCTGGATCTCACCCTGGA-3'.…”
