SLCO1B1 Phenotype details

What SLCO1B1 Phenotype shows

The SLCO1B1 phenotype is a prediction of how well your OATP1B1 transporter works, derived from the variants found in your SLCO1B1 gene. This liver transporter helps clear certain medicines from your blood, notably statins. Results are usually given as normal, decreased or poor function. Decreased or poor function means some statins can build up in the blood, raising the risk of muscle side effects, so prescribing guidelines may suggest a different statin or dose. Normal function does not rule out side effects. Because it is based on your genes, it is a lifelong trait rather than a level that changes, and it is interpreted alongside your other medicines.
