Should not yet alter clopidogrel prescribing; leaves open whether CYP2C19-guided therapy improves outcomes in prospective trials.
How do genetic polymorphisms influence on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity and long-term clinical outcomes in patients receiving clopidogrel therapy?
Genetic polymorphisms, particularly in the CYP450 system, play a crucial role in determining clopidogrel responsiveness and subsequent risk of ischemic or bleeding events.
Campo et al. (2011) studied this question.
