[0001] The invention belongs to the field of molecular biology, and in particular relates to a single nucleotide polymorphism rs976754 detection device and application for statin-related myopathy. Background technique
[0002] Intracranial atherosclerosis is an independent risk factor for ischemic cerebrovascular disease, and hyperlipidemia can promote the formation of atherosclerotic plaque. Atorvastatin, as the first-line drug for lipid-lowering therapy, can competitively inhibit the rate-limiting enzyme 3-hydroxy-methylglutaryl CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase in cholesterol synthesis. Cholesterol synthesis is reduced, and at the same time, it promotes the increase of concentration-dependent LDL receptor activity, accelerates the catabolism of LDL, thereby significantly reducing blood lipid levels and stabilizing plaques, which is very beneficial to the prevention of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases.
[0003] Usually the use of atorvastatin is effective and safe,...
