Mega1 1TIMI Study Group, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA Clopidogrel, a platelet P2Y12 inhibitor, is one of the most widely prescribed drugs in cardiovascular medicine because it reduces ischemic and thrombotic complications. It is a prodrug requiring biotransformation into the active metabolite by the hepatic cytochrome 450 system, especially the CYP2C19 enzyme. Candidate gene studies and genome-wide association studies have identified loss-of-function CYP2C19 variants to be associated with a diminished pharmaco- logic response. Specifically, compared with noncarriers, carriers of at least one copy of a loss-of-function CYP2C19 allele have 30% lower levels of active clopidogrel metabolite and 25% relatively less platelet inhibition with clopidogrel. Moreover, in patients treated with clopidogrel predominantly for percutaneous coronary intervention, carriers of 1 or 2 CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles are at increased risk for major adverse cardiovascular outcomes, with an 1. Tripling the dose of clopidogrel in carriers of a CYP2C19 loss-of-function allele can achieve on-treatment platelet reactivity comparable to that seen with the standard 75 mg dose in wild-type individuals, but the impact on clinical outcomes remains unknown. Alternatively, 2 third-generation P2Y12 inhibitors are available: prasugrel and ticagrelor. These drugs are superior to clopidogrel in reducing ischemic outcomes and are unaffected by CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles.

Given that the ● To understand the importance of pharmacogenetics with typical lifespan of a platelet is 7-10 days, a return to normal platelet regard to the pharmacologic and clinical efficacy of P2Y12 reactivity in an individual occurs over several days. ADP receptor inhibitors Variable response to clopidogrel Background Variable platelet inhibition with clopidogrel therapy has been Clopidogrel, an inhibitor of the P2Y12 ADP receptor on the surface observed and approximates a bell-shaped distribution, with close to of platelets, is one of the most widely prescribed drugs in 1/3 of subjects not having an appreciable decrease in platelet cardiovascular medicine. Clopidogrel, or earlier generations of reactivity after a standard 300 mg loading dose. Several studies have P2Y12 inhibitors, have been shown to reduce the risk of adverse gone on to show that patients treated with clopidogrel who have clinical outcomes in patients with coronary disease in 2 major high on-treatment platelet reactivity have a higher rate of ischemic settings. First, among patients undergoing coronary stenting, dual complications such as myocardial infarction and stent thrombosis antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and a P2Y ADP receptor inhibitor and, conversely, as would be expected, lower rates of bleeding. In particular, some ing with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), the addition of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), such as omeprazole, are both clopidogrel to aspirin reduces the risk of death and ischemic inhibitors of and substrates for the CYP2C19 enzyme, which is complications by 20%. Initial observational data raised concerns about potential association of concurrent PPI Clopidogrel, a thienopyridine, is a prodrug. Absorption of clopi- (especially omeprazole) and clopidogrel therapy with increased dogrel is limited by the intestinal efflux transporter P-glycoprotein. The remaining 15% of concomitant use of omeprazole can decrease levels of the active the prodrug is metabolized by the hepatic cytochrome 450 system, clopidogrel metabolite by 40%–45% and decrease platelet inhibi- especially the CYP2C19 enzyme, into an active thiol metabolite. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continues and ischemic complications by 75%–85% compared with aspirin to mandate that the clopidogrel prescribing information include the monotherapy or aspirin plus an anticoagulant. Therefore, the risk ratio in that subgroup versus “PPIs are appropriate in patients with multiple risk factors for GI wild-type patients would be the inverse of the benefit of P2Y 12 bleeding who require antiplatelet therapy. Routine use of either a inhibition in that population or 1/0. Due to redundancy in PPI or an H2RA (H2-receptor antagonist) is not recommended for the system, the presence of the CYP2C19*2 allele does not patients at lower risk of upper GI bleeding. For the sake of argument, if one were to clopidogrel, it would be prudent to choose such a drug over PPIs assume a linear relationship between platelet inhibition and reduc- that are known CYP2C19 inhibitors. In contrast, for patients who are predominantly metabolism (CYP2C19, possibly PON1) of clopidogrel have been medically managed, the addition of clopidogrel to aspirin reduces investigated for potential association with clopidogrel response. Partial genetic blockade would then be CYP2C19 expected to result in a risk ratio of only 1.

In practice, the sequences that are included in an exome will depend on the design A prevailing feature of the 90% of the human genome that does not of the specific exome capturing kit that is used. The captured constitute protein coding regions or highly conserved regions is the sequences usually comprise the sequences from the consensus presence of repetitive elements. Repetitive elements can either occur as coding sequence (CCDS) database or an extended set of sequences clusters of tandem repeats or as interspersed repeats. Circles represent the approximate proportion of the various sequence categories. Pink and red ovals indicate enhancer and promoter; dark blue large boxes, coding exons; light blue smaller boxes, 5 and 3 untranslated regions; and green and yellow arrows, SINEs and LINEs, respectively. Variability of the human genome regions and can be a few thousand to several hundred thousand base Just as every human being is an individual with unique character- pairs in length. LCRs are estimated to comprise 5% of the human istics and talents, so is his or her genome. CNVs in the form of gene duplications can, for example, “individuals. The variation of the human number of amylase genes found in the genome of the bushmen in genome is apparent at all levels: from polymorphic single base southern Africa. Genome analysis methods Our technical abilities to analyze the human genome have also shaped the way we perceive the genome and its diversity. Over the Single nucleotide polymorphisms past half century, increasingly more sophisticated and powerful Approximately 1 in every 300 bases in our genome is found to be genome analysis technologies have been developed. Two important polymorphic, with an alternative base present in 1% of the aspects of these technologies have to be considered: resolution and individuals in a population. These so-called single nucleotide analysis coverage (Figure 2A). However, the variability of our genome is not chromosomal analysis will visualize the whole genome at a low confined to a single nucleotide at a time. To overcome some of the limitations in resolution and length scales of several hundred to millions of base pairs. These sample requirements of classical cytogenetics, molecular cytoge- copy number variations (CNVs) are much more difficult to detect netics techniques, especially FISH and comparative genomic with current methodologies. LCRs are often restricted to specific chromosomal cently labeled DNA probe used. Therefore, a conventional FISH Hematology 2013 317 Figure 2. Therefore, novel SNPs and small indels cannot be developed in the last decade; for example, bacterial artificial “seen” on these platforms (Figure 2A). However, until very recently, our DNA sequencing technology was only able to cover minuscule stretches of the human genome in a single experiment. The first DNA sequencing technology that allowed the reliable sequencing of more than a few dozen base pairs in a single experiment was the dideoxy chain termination method developed by Fred Sanger in the 1970s. The DNA fragments to be sequenced have to be cloned or PCR amplified, a labor-intensive process. For this and other reasons, Sanger sequenc- ing is quite an expensive method of sequencing, typically costing several dollars ($1-$10) per 1000 bp. This method was used to complete the sequencing of first human genome at a cost of more than 3 billion dollars over a period of more than 10 years. Using sequencing to “explore” large genomic regions or even Figure 3.

King compared Mexican Americans with non-Hispanic persons in a retrospective cohort study and found that HbA1c and weight 312 changed to a similar degree in both populations 500 mg trimox polyquaternium 7 antimicrobial. Jun and colleagues examined 100% Hispanics, and pioglitazone produced a decrease in HbA1c of 2. Twelve Chinese persons with nephropathy and type 2 diabetes were exposed to rosiglitazone over 15. In the updated Drug Effectiveness Review Project TZDs report (2008), several additional 143, 147, 170, 176 studies of rosiglitazone provided data on subgroups based on demographic data. In a combination therapy, double-blind study (N=365) both groups received combination tablets of glyburide/metformin. The addition of rosiglitazone achieved greater reduction in HbA1c than the addition of placebo (between-group difference −1. An improvement in HbA1c 170 was demonstrated across age, sex, and racial subgroups. In a double-blind study (N=318) in subjects who had failed to achieve adequate control 143 on metformin, metformin 1000 mg/glibenclamide 5 mg was compared with metformin 1500−2000 mg plus rosiglitazone 4 mg daily. Reduction in HbA1c was greater in the glibenclamide group at 24 weeks follow-up as noted above. This larger decrease in HbA1c occurred in the glibenclamide group across strata defined by sex, race, age, baseline HbA1c, or entry metformin dose. An analysis using data from 1,840 women and 2,511 men randomly assigned in ADOPT to rosiglitazone, metformin, or glyburide examined time to first fracture, rates of occurrence, and 309 sites of fractures. In men, fracture rates did not differ between treatment groups. In women, the study identified an increased risk of fractures with rosiglitazone. The cumulative incidence of fractures at 5 years was 15. Thus, in women, the hazard ratios comparing rosiglitazone with metformin and glyburide were 1. A systematic review and meta-analysis of 10 randomized controlled trials and 2 observational studies found similar results, concluding that long-term TZD use doubles the risk of fractures among women with type 2 diabetes, without significant increase in risk of fractures 204 among men with type 2 diabetes. The risk of fractures overall in the 10 randomized controlled trials was increased with TZDs (odds ratio 1. Five randomized controlled trials showed an increased risk among women (odds ratio 2. Comorbidities and other population characteristics Patients with impaired renal function were examined in several studies. Agrawal and 233 colleagues examined patients with renal impairment (creatinine clearance 30-80 mL/min) and found that rosiglitazone had similar effects on HbA1c in patients with and without renal 316 impairment. In a retrospective chart review of patients on dialysis with end stage renal disease, rosiglitazone was associated with weight gain and a decrease in hematocrit at 3-month follow-up compared with pioglitazone. Data for pioglitazone, however, were not presented, limiting conclusions that can be drawn. In a fair-quality study pooling 2 randomized controlled trials that compared rosiglitazone 317 plus metformin combined therapy with metformin monotherapy, Jones and colleagues 2 2 2 examined subgroups with body mass index < 25 kg/m , 25-30 kg/m , and >30 kg/m. They noted greater improvement in HbA1c with rosiglitazone 4 or 8 mg daily plus metformin than with metformin monotherapy (P=0. Weight gain 2 was noted in the obese group (body mass index > 30 kg/m ) receiving metformin plus rosiglitazone (2. Weight change was not reported for the other body mass index subgroups. Patients with diagnosed coronary artery disease were examined in 3 studies which were described above in Key Question 2, as these were the only studies that reported cardiovascular 168 outcomes. Wang and colleagues examined 70 Chinese with coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes and noted significant improvement in HbA1c with rosiglitazone with change in weight similar to the no-treatment control group. The primary and composite endpoint of coronary events (including death) was significantly decreased in the rosiglitazone group (P value reported 230 as both <0. Wang and colleagues also examined Chinese persons with metabolic syndrome and found that fasting plasma glucose did not improve significantly in either the rosiglitazone or the placebo group (HbA1c was not presented). At 6-month follow-up there were no significant differences in glycemic control or lipid concentrations between the 2 groups.
