Late response to rosuvastatin and statin-related myalgia due to SLCO1B1, SLCO1B3, ABCB11, and CYP3A5 variants in a patient with Familial Hypercholesterolemia: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Statins are the most widely used cholesterol-lowering drugs for cardiovascular diseases prevention. However, some patients are refractory to treatment, whereas others experience statin-related adverse events (SRAE). It has been increasingly important to identify pharmacogenetic biomarkers for predicting statin response and adverse events. This case report describes a female patient with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) who showed late response to rosuvastatin and experienced myalgia on statin treatment. In the first visit (V1), the patient reported myalgia to rosuvastatin 40 mg, which was interrupted for a 6-week wash-out period. In V2, rosuvastatin 20 mg was reintroduced, but her lipid profile did not show any changes after 6 weeks (V3) (LDL-c: 402 vs. 407 mg/dL). Her lipid profile markedly improved after 12 weeks of treatment (V4) (LDL-c: 208 mg/dL), suggesting a late rosuvastatin response. Her adherence to treatment was similar in V1 and V3 and no drug interactions were detected. Pharmacogenetic analysis revealed that the patient carries low-activity variants in SLCO1B1*1B and*5, SLCO1B3 (rs4149117 and rs7311358), and ABCB11 rs2287622, and the non-functional variant in CYP3A5*3. The combined effect of variants in pharmacokinetics-related genes may have contributed to the late response to rosuvastatin and statin-related myalgia. Therefore, they should be considered when assessing a patient's response to statin treatment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a pharmacogenetic analysis on a case of late rosuvastatin response.

Project description:UnlabelledPatients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) may be at increased risk for statin-associated muscle symptoms because they require long-term treatment with high-intensity statin therapy. We sought to determine (1) whether other predisposing factors, including the well-known genetic variant associated with statin-associated muscle symptoms-solute carrier organic anion transporter family, member 1B1 (SLCO1B1) rs4149056-also increase the risk of statin-associated muscle symptoms in FH patients, and (2) the natural history and management for FH patients with statin-associated muscle symptoms.MethodsWe queried electronic records (2004-2014) of 278 genetically screened FH patients (113 men, 165 women; mean [SD] pretreatment low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C] 259 [72] mg/dL) recruited from lipid clinics in the Dallas, TX, area from 2004 to 2014. Statin-associated muscle symptoms were defined as muscle symptoms arising while taking a statin and interrupting therapy.ResultsThe risk of muscle symptoms was associated with age (odds ratio 1.6 [95% CI 1.2-2.2]), body mass index in non-African Americans (0.90 [0.83-0.97]), and hypertension (0.4 [0.2-0.9]). Simvastatin was the most commonly used statin, and it was the statin most associated with muscle symptoms. Among FH patients with muscle symptoms, 41% (n = 40) reestablished statin therapy ("eventually tolerant") and 29% (n = 28) never reestablished statin therapy ("never tolerant"). Rosuvastatin (43%) and pravastatin (30%) were the most common eventually tolerated statins, and eventually tolerant patients achieved lower treated LDL-C levels (eventually tolerant 127 vs never tolerant 192 mg/dL, P < .001). Never tolerant patients also developed muscle symptoms on nonstatins (16% vs 50%, P = .003). SLCO1B1 rs4149056 genotyping revealed 224 wild-type patients (TT) and 49 heterozygotes (TC). SLCO1B1 genotype was not associated with the risk of statin-associated muscle symptoms (odds ratio 1.40 [95% CI 0.74-2.64]).ConclusionAge, not SLCO1B1 rs4149056 genotype, was the strongest risk factor for statin-associated muscle symptoms in FH patients. After developing muscle symptoms, many patients reestablished statin therapy and achieved significant LDL-C reductions. Overall, 10% of all FH patients had statin-associated muscle symptoms and never reestablished statin therapy. Such patients developed muscle symptoms even on nonstatin lipid-lowering drugs and continued to have elevations in LDL-C. Further insight is needed into the relationship between FH and statin-associated muscle symptoms so all FH patients can be adequately treated.

Project description:Atorvastatin, prescribed for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, demonstrated overwhelming benefits in reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, many patients discontinue therapy due to adverse reactions, especially myopathy. The Dutch Pharmacogenetics Working Group (DPWG) recommends an alternative agent to atorvastatin and simvastatin or a dose adjustment depending on other risk factors for statin-induced myopathy in SLCO1B1 rs4149056 CC or TC carriers. In contrast, the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) published their guideline on simvastatin, but not on atorvastatin. In this work, we aimed to demonstrate the effect of SLCO1B1 phenotype and other variants (e.g., in CYP3A4/5, UGT enzymes or SLC transporters) on atorvastatin pharmacokinetics. For this purpose, a candidate-gene pharmacogenetic study was proposed. The study population comprised 156 healthy volunteers enrolled in atorvastatin bioequivalence clinical trials. The genotyping strategy comprised a total of 60 variants in 15 genes. Women showed higher exposure to atorvastatin compared to men (p = 0.001), however this difference disappeared after dose/weight (DW) correction. The most relevant pharmacogenetic differences were the following: AUC/DW and Cmax /DW based on (a) SLCO1B1 phenotype (p < 0.001 for both) and (b) CYP3A5*3 (p = 0.004 and 0.018, respectively). As secondary findings: SLC22A1 *2/*2 genotype was related to higher Cmax/DW (ANOVA p = 0.030) and SLC22A1 *1/*5 genotype was associated with higher Vd/F (ANOVA p = 0.032) compared to SLC22A1 *1/*1, respectively. Finally, UGT2B7 rs7439366 *1/*1 genotype was associated with higher tmax as compared with the *1/*3 genotype (ANOVA p = 0.024). Based on our results, we suggest that SLCO1B1 is the best predictor for atorvastatin pharmacokinetic variability and that prescription should be adjusted based on it. We suggest that the CPIC should include atorvastatin in their statin-SLCO1B1 guidelines. Interesting and novel results were observed based on CYP3A5 genotype, which should be confirmed with further studies.
