CYP2C19*2 & *3 Detection Kit (RUO)
- Pharmacokinetic and antiplatelet tests of the active metabolite of Clopidogrel show that the drug levels and antiplatelet effects differ depending on the genotype of the CYP2C19 enzyme.
- The following represent the different alleles of CYP2C19 that make up a patient's genotype:
- The CYP2C19*1 allele has fully functional metabolism of Clopidogrel
- The CYP2C19*2 and *3 alleles have no functional metabolism of Clopidogrel. These two alleles account for most of the reduced function alleles in patients of Caucasian (85%) and Asian (99%) descent classified as poor metabolizers.
- In March 2010, the US FDA put a black box warning on Plavix to make patients and healthcare providers aware that CYP2C19 poor metabolizers, representing up to 14% of patients, are at high risk of treatment failure and that testing is available.
- Pharmigene, Inc. conducted in development CYP2C19*2 & *3 Detection Kit, and sequencing methods for product validation.
