Integrative pharmacogenomics analysis predicts the platelet response in clopidogrel treated coronary artery disease (CAD) patients of South India
摘要
Clopidogrel resistance/high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) has been associated with interindividual variability in the clopidogrel treatment response in different ethnicities leading to adverse coronary events. The current study evaluated the effect of genetics and clinical factors on platelet inhibition in clopidogrel-treated South Indian CAD patients. We genotyped 15 genetic polymorphisms in the genes associated with the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of clopidogrel. We observed a high prevalence of the poor metabolizer CYP2C19*2 (34%) variant and CYP2C19-based high-risk metabolizer phenotype such intermediate and poor metabolizer (IM + PM) with 68.5% in CAD patients. The platelet function test revealed that 31% of the CAD cases were HTPR phenotypes (VASP PRI > 50%). The CYP2C19*2 [OR 2.37 (95% CI 1.16–4.84),
