Feasibility of a Microarray-Based Point-of-Care CYP2C19 Genotyping Test for Predicting Clopidogrel On-Treatment Platelet Reactivity

Clopidogrel is a prodrug which is converted into active metabolite by cytochrome P450 isoenzyme, CYP2C19. Numerous polymorphisms of CYP2C19 are reported, and a strong link exists between loss-of-function (LOF) or gain-of-function polymorphisms, clopidogrel metabolism, and clinical outcome. Hence, a...
