Abstract excerpt
The presence of cytochrome P450 (CYP) variant alleles may reduce the activation of the prodrug clopidogrel to its active state. This research evaluated the frequency of variant alleles in the genes coding for CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 enzymes in patients on clopidogrel therapy and experiencing repeat acute coronary syndrome (ACS) compared to a control group with a matching ethnic composition.
