May guide clopidogrel selection in Japanese post-stent patients; extends pharmacogenetic data but leaves outcome impact open.
Does CYP2C19 loss-of-function genotype increase platelet reactivity in Japanese patients receiving clopidogrel after coronary stenting?
CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles significantly increase on-treatment platelet reactivity in Japanese patients on clopidogrel after coronary stenting, demonstrating a gene-dose effect.
