Background: This study was performed to clarify the effect of SLCO1B1 T521C on statin-induced myotoxicity. Methods: The PubMed, Embase, Ovid, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for all published studies between database inception and April 2018. Using Review Manager 5, the pooled odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were determined to assess the effect of SLCO1B1 T521C on statin-induced myotoxicity by using different genetic models. Results: Eleven observational studies and one randomized controlled trial were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled analysis showed that the incidence of statin-induced myotoxicity was significantly associated with the SLCO1B1 521C variant allele. Among patients using statins, the incidence of myotoxicity was higher in those carrying the 521TC or 521CC variant than in those carrying the 521TT variant in the dominant model (TC + CC vs TT, OR: 1.57; 95% CI: 1.20, 2.05; p = 0.001). The 521TC genotype was associated with a higher risk of myotoxicity than the 521TT genotype (OR: 1.42; 95% CI: 1.09, 1.86; p = 0.009). Furthermore, the incidence of myotoxicity was higher in 521CC carriers than in 521TC carriers (OR: 1.40; 95% CI: 1.06, 1.83; p = 0.02) and noticeably higher in 521CC carriers than in 521TT carriers (OR: 2.26; 95% CI: 1.23, 4.17; p = 0.009). Conclusion: The identification of individuals with the SLCO1B1 521C variant allele prior to the initiation of statin therapy might be useful to predict the risk of toxicity development, determine the individual dose, and prevent myotoxicity.
