Indicated for treating hyperlipidemias and for the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD), statins rank among the most commonly prescribed drug classes. While statins are considered to be highly effective in preventing atherosclerotic events, a substantial portion of treated patients still progress to overt CVD. Genetic factors are thought to contribute substantially to treatment outcome. Several candidate genes have been associated with statin dose requirements and treatment outcomes, but a clinically relevant pharmacogenomics test to guide statin therapy has not yet emerged. Here we define basic pharmacogenomics terminology, present strong candidate genes (CETP, HMGCR, SLCO1B1, ABCB1, and CYP3A4/5), and discuss the challenges in developing much-needed statin pharmacogenomics biomarkers for predicting treatment outcomes.
他汀类药物被用于治疗高脂血症和预防心血管疾病(CVD),是最常被处方的药物类别之一。虽然他汀类药物在预防动脉粥样硬化事件方面被认为非常有效,但仍有相当一部分接受治疗的患者会发展为明显的心血管疾病。遗传因素被认为在很大程度上影响治疗效果。几个候选基因已被发现与他汀类药物的剂量需求和治疗效果相关,但尚未出现一种临床上相关的药物基因组学检测方法来指导他汀类药物治疗。在这里,我们定义了基本的药物基因组学术语,介绍了强有力的候选基因(CETP、HMGCR、SLCO1B1、ABCB1和CYP3A4/5),并讨论了开发急需的用于预测治疗效果的他汀类药物药物基因组学生物标志物所面临的挑战。
