SLCO1B1
SLCO1B1 makes OATP1B1, a liver transporter that affects statin exposure. Current interpretation uses phased star alleles and includes full or partial gene deletions. The clinical meaning depends on the statin and dose; the clearest muscle-side-effect evidence is for simvastatin, and a typical result does not rule out symptoms.
