1. A method, comprising:
- (a) assaying for the presence or absence of a C or T allele for single nucleotide polymorphism rs4149056 in the SLCO1B1 gene in a biological sample obtained from a patient in need of treatment with a statin;
(b) correlating the identity of the allele of said polymorphism with risk of statin-induced myopathy;
(c) establishing a statin type and dosage based on said patient'"'"'s statin-induced myopathy risk; and
(d) administering said statin type and dosage to said patient.

Abstract
This invention relates to a method of determining the susceptibility of an individual to statin-induced myopathy, comprising detecting the presence or absence of one or more polymorphisms in the SLCO1B1 gene in a biological sample from an individual, whereby the presence of one or more polymorphisms indicates that the individual has altered susceptibility to statin-induced myopathy.
