Investigating CYP2C19 loss-of-function allele statuses and their association with stroke of different etiologies in a Taiwanese population

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: CYP2C19 loss-of-function single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with poor responses of clopidogrel in secondary prevention of ischemic stroke (IS). It is still unclear whether these SNPs, which may result in poor cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) enzymatic activity, affect the occurrence of IS and its subtypes. The present study evaluated the relationship between the CYP2C19...
