Abstract
Purpose
Clopidogrel non-responsiveness is multifactorial; several genetic and non-genetic factors may contribute to impaired platelet inhibition. The goal of this study is to determine the effect of the cytochrome P450 CYP2C19*2 polymorphism on the platelet response to clopidogrel in patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM).
Methods
We conducted an observational study in patients with coronary artery disease and consequent exposure to clopidogrel therapy (75 mg/day for at least 7 consecutive days). We have analyzed two groups of patients: group I (DM patients) and group II (non-diabetes mellitus patients). Platelet reactivity was assessed by the VerifyNow P2Y12 assay and high on clopidogrel platelet reactivity (HPR) was defined as P2Y12 reaction units (PRU) ≥ 208. Genotyping for CYP2C19*2 polymorphism was performed by PCR-RFLP.
Results
We have included 150 subjects (76 DM and 74 non-diabetes mellitus patients). The carriage of CYP2C19*2 allele, in DM patients, was significantly associated to HPR (odds ratio (OR) 4.437, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.134 to 17.359; p = 0.032). Furthermore, 8.4% of the variability in percent inhibition by clopidogrel could be attributed to CYP2C19*2 carrier status. However, in non-diabetes mellitus patients, there was no significant difference in platelet response to clopidogrel according to the presence or absence of CYP2C19*2 allele carriage (OR 1.260, 95% CI 0.288 to 5.522; p = 0.759).
Conclusions
Our study suggests that the carriage of CYP2C19*2 polymorphism, in DM patients, might be a potential predictor of persisting HPR in these high-risk individuals.
