Lack of association between SLCO1B1 polymorphism and the lipid-lowering effects of atorvastatin and simvastatin in Chinese individuals

Purpose There is significant inter-individual variability in the lipid-lowering effects of atorvastatin and simvastatin. Our goal was to investigate the impact of SLCO1B1 genetic polymorphism on the lipid-lowering effects of atorvastatin and simvastatin.
