Effect of loss-of-function CYP2C19 variants on clinical outcomes in coronary artery disease patients treated with clopidogrel: A systematic meta-analysis approach.

For many years, clopidogrel has been a commonly utilised antiplatelet drug in the management of coronary artery disease (CAD). It's thought that the CYP2C19 loss of function (LoF) polymorphism causes clopidogrel's poor metabolism, which eventually leads to resistance. Previous research produced extremely divergent and inconsistent results, making it impossible to draw definitive conclusions.
