Abstract excerpt
A recently discovered haplotype-CYP2C:TG-determines the ultrarapid metabolism of several CYP2C19 substrates. The platelet inhibitor clopidogrel requires CYP2C19-mediated activation: the risk of ischemic events is increased in patients with a poor (PM) or intermediate (IM) CYP2C19 metabolizer phenotype (vs. normal, NM; rapid, RM; or ultrarapid, UM). We investigated whether the CYP2C:TG haplotype affected...
