Gene polymorphisms significantly affecting the therapeutic response of statins (atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, simvastatin, and pravastatin) in Asian populations. Statins are transported into hepatocytes via active transport through SLC transporters and metabolized mainly by CYP enzymes and eliminated by efflux pumps, ABC proteins. In terms of mechanism of action, statins inhibit HMGCR, which is the step-limiting step in cholesterol synthesis. Created with BioRender.com. Adapted from PharmGKB [8].ABC, ATP-binding cassette; APO, apolipoprotein; APOA5, Apolipoprotein A-V; APOE, apolipoprotein E; CETP, cholesterol ester transfer protein; CYP, cytochrome P450; CYP7A1, cholesterol 7-α-hydroxylase; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; HMGCR, HMG-CoA reductase; IDL, intermediate-density lipoprotein; LCAT, lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; LDLR, LDL receptor; LPL, lipoprotein lipase; SLC, solute carrier; VLDL, very-low-density lipoprotein.
