Sumario:This review presents the most studied genetic markers which are risk factors for adverse drug reactions in patients who are treated with statins and/or associated with resistance to them. We have considered the possible practical advice for individual therapy with statins in patients with a known genotype. Identification of the gene variant SLCO1B1*5 is a risk factor for myopathy and rhabdomyolysis and HMGCR gene haplotype H7 is associated with less reduction in LDL cholesterol in patients receiving statins. Pathological effect of a particular genetic marker is modified by statin class or calculated personal dose. The use of pharmacogenetic testing will reduce the frequency of adverse outcomes of statins and make a prediction their performance in a specific patient. Howeverfurther studies on the translation of these personalized medicine tests to clinical practice are needed.
