Brief summary
The goal of this prospective cohort study was to identify the effect of SLC01B1 gene polymorphism in the Pakistani population. The main questions it aims to answer are: To identify polymorphism in SLOC1B1 (rs2306283) in the Pakistani population. To determine the association between SLOC1B1 (rs2306283) polymorphism and the clinical efficacy of atorvastatin To determine the association between SLOC1B1 (rs2306283) polymorphism and the safety profile of atorvastatin.
Detailed description
The goal of this prospective cohort study was to identify the effect of SLC01B1 gene polymorphism in the Pakistani population, due to the high prevalence of this variant in the Pakistani Population The main questions it aims to answer are: To identify polymorphism in SLOC1B1 (rs2306283) in the Pakistani population. To determine the association between SLOC1B1 (rs2306283) polymorphism and the clinical efficacy of atorvastatin To determine the association between SLOC1B1 (rs2306283) polymorphism and the safety profile of atorvastatin. The participants' blood samples were taken and further genotyping was performed using conventional tetraARMS PCR. The results were visualized by gel electrophoresis.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| To identify genetic polymorphism in SLOC1B1 in the Pakistani population | 1 month | Genetic polymorphism in SLOC1B1 in the Pakistani population will be assessed by ARMS PCR assay. |
| Lipid profile | 1 month | Lipid profile will be measured at 0 and on the 28th day of atorvastatin therapy on a blood sample. LDL cholesterol was categorized as optimal \<100mg/dl, Near or above optimal = 100-129mg/dl, Borderline = 130-159mg/dl, high = 160-189mg/dl, and very high \>190mg/dl. Total cholesterol: \<200mg/dl = desirable, 200-239mg/dl = borderline high, \>240mg/dl = high. HDL cholesterol: \<40mg/dl = low and \>60mg/dl = high. Triglycerides: \<150mg/dl were considered optimal, 150-199mg/dl as Borderline high, and 200-500 mg/dl as high |
| The SAMS-CI tool | 1 month | The patient will be assessed for safety profile through the myopathy by Statin-associated myopathy (SAM-CI) tool by filling out the questionnaire on days 0, 14, and 28. The SAMS-CI tool will be used, to record the location, symmetry, and onset of muscle symptoms at day 0, 14, and 28 of atorvastatin therapy. Patients reporting the presence of muscular pain will be further divided into Unlikely, Possible, and Probable categories based on their SAMS-CI score. |
