Patent number: 9664698Abstract: The present invention inter alia provides a method, and uses thereof, of predicting statin-induced muscle toxicity or its complications, such as myalgia, myopathy and rhabdomyolysis, by detecting the lipid concentrations or lipid ratios of a biological sample and comparing it to a control. This method has identified lipid markers that are more specific and sensitive in detecting these statin-induced muscle toxicity than the currently utilized clinical markers. Also provided is an antibody towards said lipids, and the use thereof for predicting, diagnosing, statin-induced muscle toxicity. The invention additionally relates to kits comprising lipids and/or an antibody thereto, for use in the prediction and/or diagnosis of statin-induced muscle toxicity.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2011Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: ZORA BIOSCIENCES OYInventors: Reijo Laaksonen, Kim Ekroos, Reini Hurme, Minna Janis, Riikka Katainen, Kirill Tarasov
