The presence of cytochrome P450 (CYP) variant alleles may reduce the activation of the prodrug clopidogrel to its active state. This research evaluated the frequency of variant alleles in the genes coding for CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 enzymes in patients on clopidogrel therapy and experiencing repeat acute coronary syndrome (ACS) compared to a control group with a matching ethnic composition. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used for allelic discrimination. Complete data were obtained for 92 patients enrolled over a 3-month period. There were no significant differences in the presence of the examined CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP2C9, or CYP2C19 variant alleles between the two groups. The present data indicate that patients currently receiving clopidogrel therapy who present with repeat ACS do not have higher frequency of the examined variant alleles compared to a control group.
