Association between statin-induced creatine kinase elevation and genetic polymorphisms in SLCO1B1, ABCB1 and ABCG2
Purpose Treatment with statins requires close monitoring of serum creatine kinase (CK) levels to prevent myopathy, a common and potentially serious dose-dependent adverse effect of these drugs. We have investigated the correlation between elevated CK levels and polymorphisms in the genes encoding tr...

Summary: | Purpose
Treatment with statins requires close monitoring of serum creatine kinase (CK) levels to prevent myopathy, a common and potentially serious dose-dependent adverse effect of these drugs. We have investigated the correlation between elevated CK levels and polymorphisms in the genes encoding transporters involved in statin disposition.
Methods
Patients with and without statin-induced elevated serum CK levels were genotyped for polymorphisms in
SLCO1B1
(
SLCO1B1
A388G and
SLCO1B1
T521C),
ABCB1
(
ABCB1
C1236T and
ABCB1
C3435T) and
ABCG2
(
ABCG2
C421A).
Results
Patients carrying
SLCO1B1
T521C or ABCB1 C1236T single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) had an odds ratio (OR) for statin-induced elevated serum CK levels of 8.86 (
