Evaluation of the relationship between the platelet reactivity detected by two methods and CYP2C19 gene polymorphism in patients with ACS after receiving clopidogrel / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the relationship between the platelet reactivity detected by two methods and CYP2C19 gene polymorphism in patients with ACS after taking clopidogrel, and analyze the correlation between different platelet detection methods. Methods Forty-three patients with ACS, admitted in the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command from July to October 2019, met the diagnostic criteria and received dual antiplatelet therapy, were enrolled in present study. The gene chip was used for CYP2C19 genotype detection, vasodilatory stimulated phosphorylated protein (VASP) method and two revulsiveinduced phototurbidimetric methods [arachidonic acid-induced phototurbidimetry (AA-LTA), diphosphate adenosine-induced phototurbidimetry (ADP-LTA)] were used to evaluate the antiplatelet reactivity, and the correlation between different evaluation methods was compared. Results Of the 43 patients, 17(39.5%) were EMs, 19(44.2%) were IMs, and 7(16.3%) were PMs. The results of VASP were higher in PMs and IMs patients than those in EMs, and the results of AA-LTA were higher in PMs than those in IMs and EMs. The differences were significant (P<0.01). The platelet reactivity of VASP was positively correlated with AA-LTA and ADP-LTA (r=0.383, 0.369, P<0.05); and AA-LTA was positively correlated with ADP-LTA (r=0.496, P=0.011). Conclusions There is a difference between CYP2C19 gene polymorphism and platelet reactivity, and the correlation between VASP method and LTA method is low. CYP2C19 genotype can be used as a reference for the platelet reactivity of patients after clopidogrel therapy.
