Relation of cytochrome P450 2C19 gene 681G>A single nucleotide polynmrphism to clopidogrel resistance after PCI in Chinese

摘要

Objectives Clopidogrel is a prodrug that has to be converted to an active metabolite by hepatic cytochrome P450(CYP) isoenzymes to inhibit platelet aggregation.Individualvariability of platelet inhibition by clopidogrel suggests a possibility for genetic factors having a significant influence on clopidogrel responsiveness.In this study,we sought to determine the association between the single nucleotide polymorphism of CYP 2C19 681GA and the occurrence of clopidogrel resistance(CR) in Chinese.Methods The study enrolled 614 hospitalized patients who underwentsuccessful percutaneouscoronary intervention with drug-eluting stents were received the treatmentwith dual antiplatelet regimen(aspirin plus clopidogrel).All patients received loading doses of 600 mg clopidogrel and 300 mg aspirin.20μmol/L ADP-induced platelet aggregation ratio(PAR ) was assessed 24 h after clopi- dogrel administration.The maximum residual PAR≥70%was defined as CR.Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood samples according to standard protocols,the single nucleotide polymorphism of the CYP2C19 681GA was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in all the patients.Results CR was found in 126 patients(20.5%).There was CYP2C19 681GA polymorphism in the study population.The frequencies of the three kinds of genotypes(GG,GA,A A) in CR group and non-CR (NCR)group were 32.5%,47.6%,19.8%and 48.0%, 45.0%,7.0%,respectively.The frequency of AA genotype was significantly higher in NCR group than that in CR group (OR =3.03,95%CI:1.889～5.784,P=0.003).The A allele carriers were more likely to develop clopidogrel resistance compared with that of G allele carriers(OR=1.85,95%CI: 1.392～2.459,P=0.002).Conclusions CYP2C19 681G/A polymorphism is associated with the risk of CR,and the A allele carriers may be a possible genetic susceptibility factor for patients with CR.
