May attenuate clopidogrel efficacy in acute ischemic stroke; hypothesis-generating for genotype-guided trials.
Do CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles reduce the antiplatelet effect and clinical efficacy of clopidogrel in patients with acute ischemic stroke?
CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles are associated with reduced antiplatelet response to clopidogrel and worse clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Jia et al. (2013) studied this question.
