Abstract
This invention provides a diagnostic method for determining statin induced myopathy. The method is especially applicable for determining warnings, early signs and also symptomatic myopathy. The method includes collecting a lipidomic profile from a biological sample such as blood or serum and comparing the obtained lipidomic profile to reference lipidomic markers. The reference lipidomic markers have been established by combining a pro-inflammatory muscle tissue gene expression profile with a lipidomic profile associated with high dosage statin treatment. This invention also relates to a kit for performing a method for determining statin induced myopathy.
