CYP2C19 Genotyping for optimal P2Y12 Inhibitor Therapy
- Every third patient is resistant to the antiaggregatory effect of clopidogrel due to loss-of-function (LOF) variants in the CYP2C19 gene1-3.
- The rate of major cardiovascular events (MACE) is doubled in those patients2
- Long term therapy with the alternative drugs Ticagrelor or Prasugrel has a higher risk of bleeding3,4.
- Use of Ticagrelor or Prasugrel only in patients with LOF variants achieves the lowest overall bleeding rate and optimal prevention of MACE 5
Test details
- Sanger sequencing of the variants CYP2C19 *2 and *3.
- DNA extraction from blood (3ml EDTA tubes).
- Results in 1-3 working days once received.
- CHF 590 as per list of analyses.
How to order
- Complete the informed consent (available at www.swissdnalysis.ch).
- Send the informed consent and blood by 1st class mail to:
Swiss DNAlysis, Adlerstrasse 1, CH-8600 Dübendorf
