Clinical study on traditional Chinese medicine constitution types and CYP2C19 gene polymorphism in acute cerebral infarction / 国际中医中药杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the correlation between Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution classification and clopidogrel-related CYP2C19 gene polymorphism of acute cerebral infarction patients.@*Methods@#A cross-sectional method was used in this study. Patients with acute cerebral infarction were screened and enrolled according to our inclusion and exclusion criteria. TCM constitution were evaluated in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Digital fluorescence hybridization Technology was used to test genotypes of CYP2C19 and Hardy-Weinberg’s equilibrium was used to examine CYP2C19 gene polymorphism of the patients. Binary logistic regression analysis method was used to explore the relationship between TCM constitution types and clopidogrel-related CYP2C19 gene polymorphism in acute cerebral infarction.@*Results@#Among the 100 patients with acute cerebral infarction, 18 belong to Yang-deficiency constitution (18 cases, 18%), 30 Yin-deficiency (30 cases, 30%), 18 belong to Qi-deficiency constitution (18 cases, 18%), 51 belong to phlegm-dampness constitution(51 cases, 51%), 14 belong to damp-heat constitution (14 cases, 14%), 2 belong to special constitution (2 cases, 2%), blood-stasis constitution (27 cases, 27%), Qi stagnation constitution (4 cases, 4%), and normal constitution (11 cases, 11%). The CYP2C19*2 gene polymorphism distribution CYP2C19*2 (A/A, mutant homozygous) (21 cases, 21%), CYP2C19*2 (A/G, mutant heterozygote) (33 cases, 33%), CYP2C19*2 (G/G) (normal homozygous) (46 cases, 46%). The mutant allele frequency was 0.375. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that compared with A/A genotype, the G/G genotype of CYP2C19*2 in acute cerebral infarction was correlated with phlegm-dampness constitution (OR=5.105, 95% CI 1.308-19.928, P<0.05) and blood-stasis constitution (OR=12.557, 95% CI 1.741-90.558, P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#The proportion of phlegm-dampness constitution is the highest in patients with acute cerebral infarction. The mutation rate of clopidogrel-related CYP2C19*2 was significantly higher than that of CYP2C19*3 clopidogrel-related CYP2C19*2 gene polymorphism might be related to phlegm-dampness constitution and blood-stasis constitution.
