RECRUITINGEvaluate effect of Liver Fat Percentage (on MRI) on AUC
We expect that increased liver adiposity will be associated with higher systemic statin exposure and thus, place those with higher liver adiposity fraction at increased risk for drug toxicity.
Time frame: 2 years
Evaluate effect of Liver Fat Percentage (on MRI) on change on plasma mevalonate level
We expect that increased liver adiposity will be associated with an attenuated mevalonate response to a statin in obese children placing those with increased liver adiposity at risk for treatment failure.
Time frame: 2 years
