The analysis of the 32 discovery severe myopathy cases vs. 585 statin‐tolerant controls abolished the rs4149000 genotype association (P = 0.934), as well as for the all myopathy phenotype (P = 0.368) indicating that the two risk alleles are not acting in cis on the same haplotype and that the SLCO1A2 association is not acting independently of SLCO1B1. Here, SLCO1A2 is linked to myopathy.
