Abstract excerpt
The CYP2C19 gene encodes one of the main enzymes responsible for clopidogrel bioactivation, a widely prescribed antiplatelet prodrug. Due to its high polymorphism, clopidogrel response varies considerably, especially in carriers of nonfunctional alleles, such as CYP2C192 and * 3. Meta-analyses have associated CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles with worse cardiovascular outcomes, and genotype-guided strategies have...
