Introduction: Combination of clopidogrel and aspirin has been proven beneficial in treating symptomatic intracranial stenosis. The CYP2C19 polymorphism (CYP2C19*1, CYP2C19*2, CYP2C19*3, and CYP2C19*17 alleles) affects the efficacy of clopidogrel. Although epidemiologic studies of CYP2C19 polymorphism have been conducted in the Thai population, data on the frequency of allelic variants of CYP2C19 in Thai patients with symptomatic intracranial stenosis are lacking.

Objective: Lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) is a prevalent condition that produces a significant burden on health care systems. Patients with LEAD have an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events as well as major adverse limb events. Despite significant variation in guidance on antiplatelet therapy for LEAD worldwide, many governing bodies recommend clopidogrel as the preferred single anti-platelet agent.

Pharmacogenetic-guided prescribing can lead to more accurate medicine selection and dosing, improving patient outcomes and leading to better use of health care budgets. Loss-of-function variants in CYP2C19 influence an individual's ability to metabolize clopidogrel, increasing the risk of secondary vascular events following ischemic stroke and percutaneous coronary intervention. In acute clinical contexts, centralized laboratory-based testing is too slow to inform timely clinical decision-making.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of clopidogrel-related gene polymorphisms on the occurrence of recurrent thrombotic events and cardiovascular death in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: We conducted genotype testing for 26 specific loci mapped to 18 clopidogrel-associated genes in ACS patients who had undergone PCI and were receiving dual antiplatelet therapy only involving clopidogrel. We documented major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and clinical endpoints, analyzing the effect of genetic polymorphisms on treatment outcomes.

Objective: To test the feasibility and safety of genotype guidance in the selection of P2Y monotherapy within 1 week of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) among patients with high bleeding risk (HBR).
Patient And Methods: The study was a single-center, open-label, pilot trial. Patients (n=100) with HBR (as defined by an academic research consortium) after successful PCI received dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin.
