Genetic variation in key genes associated with statin therapy in the Azores Islands (Portugal) healthy population

Abstract: The results contribute to overcome the lack of knowledge regarding the frequency of pharmacogenetic SNPs and their corresponding haplotypes in targeted populations, such as Azores islands. Moreover, the present work constitutes an initial step to implementing pharmacogenomics in clinical practice where physicians could use a patient's genetic make-up to optimize statin therapy, regarding efficiency and myopathy risk.

“…In this study, the allele frequency of the SLCO1B1 c.388A>G polymorphism was 74.9%. Our results were similar to Chinese hyperlipidemic patients (72.1%) and Han Chinese (73.4%) population, but lower than that of Singapore Chinese (79.5%) and Singapore Malays (87.0%) populations, and higher than that of Brazilian (32%), Hungarian (36.2%), German (36.5%), Greek (43.3%), North Indian (45.0%), Finnish (46.2%), Turkish (46.3%), Roma (54.5%), Chilean (54.7%) and Singapore Indian (57.0%) populations.…”

“…The allele frequency of SLCO1B1 c.521T>C polymorphism in hypercholesterolaemic patients in the present study (11.8%) was close to that of Singapore Malays (11%), 31 Brazilian (12%) 15 and Turkish (12.2%), 32 but higher than that of African (5.7%) 26 and Singapore Indian (6.5%) 31 populations, and lower than that of English (13.0%), 25 Singapore Chinese (13%) 31 and Chilean (13.6%) populations, 16 Han Chinese (14%), 30 and Amerindian (28.3%) populations. 26 The g.89595T>C variant allele in this study (37.2%) was similar to that of Japanese (Tokyo) (39.4%) subjects, 14 Roma (LD = 95) and Hungarian (LD=96) populations.…”

“…[9] In two meta-analysis and one case-control studies, an association was demonstrated between SLCO1B1 c.521T>C polymorphism and statininduced myopathy. [13][14][15] The last two population-based case-control articles in Czech and Japanese population showed no association between SLCO1B1 gene polymorphism and risk of myalgia/myopathy in these two specific population. [16,17] APOE gene APOE gene is the gene encodes Apolipoprotein E. Apo E is a basic element of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein chylomicrons and VLDL and a subclass of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).…”
