'"`UNIQ--vote-000000F7-QINU`"' Minimal CYP3A4 dependence (CYP2C9 minor) reduces drug-drug interactions; transport in and out of hepatocytes is largely via OATP1B1, making SLCO1B1 PGx genotype the most clinically actionable marker for statin-associated myopathy'"`UNIQ--ref-000000F8-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-000003D1-QINU`"' SLCO1B1 polymorphism affects exposure but is most clinically actionable for simvastatin'"`UNIQ--ref-000003D2-QINU`"'. (1)
