Atorvastatin exhibits wide interindividual variability in treatment response, limiting the drug efficacy in coronary artery disease patients. To study the effect of genetic variants involved in atorvastatin transport/metabolism and correlate their lipid-lowering efficacy. Genotyping was performed using 5'-hydrolysis probe method (n = 412), and the study evaluated the treatment response in 86 patients. Significant reduction in total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were observed in -rs4149056, rs4363657 and -rs1045642 genotypes. The combined genotypes of and showed a strong synergistic effect in reducing the total cholesterol and LDL-C. Diabetes and smoking were observed to influence the LDL-C reduction. The genetic variants of and predict the lipid-lowering efficacy of atorvastatin, and this may be useful in genotype-guided statin therapy for coronary artery disease patients.
阿托伐他汀在治疗反应方面表现出广泛的个体间变异性,限制了其在冠心病患者中的疗效。本研究旨在探讨参与阿托伐他汀转运/代谢的遗传变异体的作用,并对其降脂疗效进行相关性分析。采用 5′-水解探针法进行基因分型(n=412),并对 86 例患者进行治疗反应评估。结果显示,-rs4149056、rs4363657 和 -rs1045642 基因型患者的总胆固醇和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)显著降低。和 联合基因型在降低总胆固醇和 LDL-C 方面表现出强烈的协同作用。研究还发现,糖尿病和吸烟会影响 LDL-C 的降低。和 的遗传变异体可预测阿托伐他汀的降脂疗效,这可能有助于指导冠心病患者进行基于基因型的他汀类药物治疗。
