Why the study?
Certain genetic and non-genetic factors may impair platelet inhibition by clopidogrel, prompting investigation into the effect of CYP2C19 polymorphism and clinical factors on platelet response in acute ischemic stroke.
Do CYP2C19 gene polymorphisms and other clinical factors influence the pharmacological response to clopidogrel in patients with acute ischemic stroke?
Population
214 patients with AIS receiving clopidogrel 75 mg daily at Ningbo First Hospital
Comparison
Clopidogrel-resistant vs clopidogrel-sensitive groups across CYP2C19 genotypes and clinical factors
Design
Observational cohort study

CYP2C19 status may guide clopidogrel use in AIS; leaves open whether testing improves outcomes in trials.
Do CYP2C19 gene polymorphisms and other clinical factors influence the pharmacological response to clopidogrel in patients with acute ischemic stroke?
Carrying the CYP2C19 *2/*3 loss-of-function alleles and having high homocysteine levels are independent risk factors for clopidogrel resistance in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
