Award Lecture: Advancing Pharmacogenomics of Statin Efficacy and Safety Using Real-World Evidence

The Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) has provided recommendations for simvastatin prescribing based on SLCO1B1 genotype to avoid statin-induced myopathy. Whether we can generate the clinical validity needed to inform pharmacogenomics guidelines for other statin types and statin-response phenotypes remains unknown. In this session, Dr. Oni-Orisan will share his lab's recent work on this topic based on findings from a real-world population.
