The genetic basis of platelet responsiveness to clopidogrel. A critical review of the literature.

Abstract excerpt

Clopidogrel reduces ischaemic complications in a wide range of patients with coronary artery disease. However, there is much inter-individual variation in clopidogrel-induced platelet inhibition, and a substantial proportion of patients will exhibit non-responsiveness to clopidogrel. Multiple studies have demonstrated an association between the presence of genetic polymorphisms associated with suboptimal...
