Abstract
Introduction: Rosuvastatin has become a good choice in the statin group because it has shown greater efficacy in reducing lipid levels than other statins, allowing patients to reach their therapeutic goal more quickly. To date, research has shown a broad relationship between the kinetics and efficacy of this drug and the phenotype of two transporters, OATP1B1 and BCRP, encoded by SLCO1B1 and ABCG2 genes. However, there are many other genes whose variation may also affect the treatment.
Objective: To conduct a systematic review including all information on the kinetics, measured by AUC and Cmax parameters; efficacy, by reduction in lipid levels and carotid intima-media thickness; and safety of rosuvastatin, by the occurrence of adverse events.
Methods: A search of the published literature was conducted in PubMed using the term "rosuvastatin AND pharmacogenetics" (PROSPERO code: CRD420251041953).
Results: A total of 37 articles were included, investigating 40 genes.
Conclusions: The importance of ABCG2 in drug kinetics and efficacy and of SLCO1B1 in kinetics is confirmed, as is the possible association of CYP3A5 with efficacy and safety and of APOC1 with efficacy. There are also positive results for other genes that should be studied further to confirm their association with rosuvastatin.
