Abstract: Objective To study the effect of SLCO1B1 gene polymorphism on the lipid-lowering effect of atorvastatin. Methods Patients who had been taking atorvatatin for more than 15 days with complete clinical records were recruited ,and patients taking other lipid-lowerring medicines or with other lipid-related factors were excluded. The clinical data and serum lipid levels before and after atorvastatin treatment were collected, and SLCO1B1 -521T> C (rs4149056) and -388A> G (rs2306283) gene polymorphisms were detected. Results The results showed that the genotype distribution of patients was consistent with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P>0.05). The reduction of TC, LDL-C and TG in SLCO1B1 -388GG genotype subgroup was significantly higher than that in AA+AG genotype subgroup. Conclusion SLCO1B1 polymorphism, especially -388A>G had significantly effect on the lipid-lowering effect of atorvastatin.
