Anticoagulants
Arnold et al. [33]Dose findingVKORC1 C283 + 837C β†’ T (rs2359612)49 with cerebrovascular disease/phenprocoumonVKORC1 TT carriers reached an INR of 2-3 after a mean time of 3.2 days ( 𝑛 = 5 ), CT carriers after 4.4 days ( 𝑛 = 2 7 ), and CC carriers after 6.5 days ( 𝑛 = 1 5 )
Kimura et al. [34]Warfarin maintenance dose(VKORC1), gamma-glutamyl carboxylase (GGCX), calumenin (CALU), and cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9)93 Japanese on stable anticoagulation therapy1639 G > A ( 𝑃 = 0 . 0 0 4 ) and 3730 G > A genotypes ( 𝑃 = 0 . 0 0 6 ) in VKORC1, the 8016 G > A genotype in GGCX ( 𝑃 = 0 . 0 2 2 ), and the 42613 A > C genotype in CYP2C9 ( 𝑃 = 0 . 0 1 5 ) were associated with effective warfarin dose
Antiplatelets
Meta-analysis of 9 different studies (CLARITY TIMI 28, EXCLESIOR, TRITION TIMI 38, AFIJI, FASSTS-MI, RECLOSE, ISAR, CLEAR PLATELETS, Intermountain) [35]Composite outcome (cardiovascular death/MI/stroke) and stent thrombosisCYP2C19/1 or 2 reduced function alleles (*2, *3, *4, *5, *6, *7, and *8)9685 patients (91% had PCI, 54% had ACS)/clopidogrelCarriers of 1 (HR 1.55; 95% CI, 1.11–2.17) or 2 (HR 1.76; 95% CI, 1.24–2.50) reduced-function CYP2C19 alleles had higher risk of composite outcome events
TRITON-TIMI 38 [36]Composite outcome (cardiovascular death/MI/ischemic stroke) CYP2C19/1 or 2 reduced function alleles (*2, *3, *4, *5, *6, *7, and *8) ABCB1/3435C β†’ T2932 patients with ACS undergoing PCI/clopidogrel versus prasugrelTT homozygotes of ABCB1 genotype had increased risk of the composite outcome compared to CT or CC carriers (HR 1.72, 95% CI 1.22–2.44). Carriers of a CYP2C19 reduced-function allele only (Kaplan-Meier event rate 11.5%), ABCB1 3435 TT homozygotes only (Kaplan-Meier event rate 12.6%), or both (Kaplan-Meier event rate 13.6%) had increased risk of composite outcome (pooled HR 1.97, 95% CI 1.38–2.82).
No significant genotype-prasugrel interaction was reported
PLATO [37]Composite outcome (cardiovascular death/MI/stroke) CYP2C19/1 or 2 reduced function alleles ABCB1/3435C β†’ T10285 patients with ACS undergoing non-CABG/clopidogrel versus ticagrelorEither with (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.60–0.99) and without (0.86, 0.74–1.01, 𝑃 = 0 . 0 6 0 8 ) any CYP2C19 reduced-function alleles patients on ticagrelor experienced lower risk of composite outcome compared to patients on clopidogrel (interaction 𝑃 = 0 . 4 6 ). Independently of ABCB1 genotype, patients on ticagrelor had lower risk of the composite outcome compared to clopidogrel users (interaction 𝑃 = 0 . 3 9 ; HR 0.71, 95% CI 0.55–0.92).
No significant interaction was found on treatment and genotype regarding major bleeding
PAPI study and Mount Sinai study [38]Composite outcome (cardiovascular death, MI, ischemic stroke, stent thrombosis, unplanned target vessel revascularization, unplanned nontarget vessel revascularization, hospitalization for coronary ischemia)GWA429 white healthy Amish individuals/clopidogrel; results replicated in 227 undergoing PCI13 SNPs in 10q24 region, where CYP2C18–CYP2C19–CYP2C9–CYP2C8 gene cluster is found, were associated with reduced response to clopidogrel. C Y P 2 C 1 9 βˆ— 2 allele carriers were at higher risk for composite outcome (adjusted HR 2.42 95% CI 1.18–4.99)
Clappers et al. [39]Composite outcome (cardiovascular death/MI/stroke)COX-1/C50T496 admitted to Coronary Care Unit for different reasons/aspirinNo interaction was found on genotype and aspirin for the composite outcome
Hillarp et al. [40]n.a.COX-1/C116T, del 137–142, C144T, G6841A, G7331C, A7742A, C10427A, C10608A, del 10675A, G12254A, T12378C, G19187A, C19242T, G19255A68 with recurrent stroke/ASA14 variants of the Cox-1 gene were identified and 7 involved amino acid substitutions of the Cox-1 molecule. None of the mutations were located near the catalytic site
