Unexpected lower ischemic risk in CYP2C19 LOF carriers should not change clopidogrel practice in ICAD; leaves open prospective validation of genotyping.
Do CYP2C19 and CES1 polymorphisms affect the risk of recurrent ischemic events or death in adult symptomatic ICAD patients treated with clopidogrel and aspirin?
CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles were unexpectedly associated with a lower risk of ischemic events and death in symptomatic ICAD patients treated with clopidogrel and aspirin.
Hoh et al. (2015) studied this question.
