A gene score of nine LDL and HDL regulating genes is associated with fluvastatin-induced cholesterol changes in women[S]
While conventional pharmacogenetic studies have considered single gene effects, we tested if a genetic score of nine LDL- and HDL-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms, previously shown to predict cardiovascular disease, is related to fluvastatin-induced lipid change. In patients with asymptoma...
