Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: On-clopidogrel platelet reactivity (PR) is associated with the risk of thrombotic or bleeding event in selected populations of high-risk patients. PR is a highly heritable phenotype and a few variants of cytochrome genes, essentially CYP2C19, are associated with PR but only explain 5% to 12% of the variability. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to delineate genetic determinants of on-clopidogrel PR...
