Increased prevalence and incidence of statin-associated immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy in Native Americans
Statin-associated IMNM is significantly more common in Native Americans in the American Southwest. The treatments received and outcomes of statin-associated IMNM in Native Americans and non-NA seem to be similar. The underlying genetic and environmental factors predisposing to IMNM in these populations require further study.
