A Genome-Wide Association Study Exploring Statin-Induced Myopathy

Presented by:	Baylor College of Medicine
Lecturer	Salim S. Virani, MD
Approximate duration:	30 mins.
Summary points:	This presentation describes the design of the genetic analyses carried out in the SEARCH trial, the postulated mechanism for the increased risk of myopathy associated with the polymorphisms examined in this study, as well as the clinical utility and limitations of using a single nucleotide polymorphism to diagnose patients at risk of developing myopathy while receiving high-dose statin therapy.
Accreditation:	Baylor College of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians. Baylor College of Medicine designates this educational activity for a maximum of 0.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s). Expiration date: January 2010.
Other:	Text-only CME.
