For instance, one study found that single nucleotide polymorphisms such as c.521T > C in the SLCO1B1 gene, which encodes OATP1B1, were associated with a 2-fold increase in risk of all myopathies and was also shown to be significantly associated with simvastatin-induced myopathies [60]. The gene discussed is SLCO1B1; the disease is myopathy.
