A Pharmacogenomics Study of Simvastatin-Induced Adverse Drug Reaction
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Adverse reactions of simvastatin are mostly slight and transient, however, the incidence of simvastatin-induced hepatic impairment and myopathy are obviously higher in Chinese population than other racial groups. There is still lack of research data in Chinese. In this study, we will investigate whether there are specific genotypes which may predict the incidence of simvastatin-induced hepatic impairment and myopathy in Chinese so as to provide a basis for developing guidelines on precise medication in simvastatin therapy apply to Chinese population.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Incidence of hepatic impairment [At 2 years]
- Incidence of myopathy [At 2 years]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Genotype detected by next generation sequencing [pre-dose of simvastatin(Baseline)]
