Abstract excerpt
1. Clopidogrel is one of the most important antithrombotic drugs but has different efficacies in different populations. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the contribution of CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms to the inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation by clopidogrel in healthy Chinese volunteers. 2.
