CYP2C19 genotype has prognostic value in specific populations following coronary stenting

Safety and Efficacy of CYP2C19 Genotype-Guided Escalation of P2Y12 Inhibitor Therapy After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Chronic Kidney Disease: a Post Hoc Analysis of the TAILOR-PCI Study

PURPOSE

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a risk factor for ischemic and bleeding events with dual antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Whether the presence of CYP2C19 loss of function (LOF) alleles modifies this risk, and whether a genotype-guided (GG) escalation of P2Y12 inhibitor therapy post PCI is safe in this population is unclear.

METHODS

This was a post hoc analysis of randomized patients in TAILOR PCI. Patients were divided into two groups based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) threshold of < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 for CKD (n = 539) and non-CKD (n = 4276). The aggregate of cardiovascular death, stroke, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, and severe recurrent coronary ischemia at 12-months post-PCI was assessed as the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoint was major or minor bleeding.

RESULTS

Mean (standard deviation) eGFR among patients with CKD was 49.5 (8.4) ml/min/1.72 m2. Among all patients, there was no significant interaction between randomized strategy and CKD status for any endpoint. Among LOF carriers, the interaction between randomized strategy and CKD status on composite ischemic outcome was not significant (p = 0.2). GG strategy was not associated with an increased risk of bleeding in either CKD group.

CONCLUSIONS

In this exploratory analysis, escalation of P2Y12 inhibitor therapy following a GG strategy did not reduce the primary outcome in CKD. However, P2Y12 inhibitor escalation following a GG strategy was not associated with increased bleeding risk in CKD. Larger studies in CKD are needed.

The combination of CYP2C19 polymorphism and inflammatory cell ratios in prognosis cardiac adverse events after acute coronary syndrome

Background

CYP2C19 gene polymorphism combination with inflammatory cell ratios was significant in the prognosis of coronary heart disease.

Materials and methods

A cross-sectional analysis study, with 6 months follow-up on 142 patients with acute coronary syndrome. Patients were analyzed for CYP2C19 gene polymorphisms by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and complete blood count to determine inflammatory cell ratios and recorded cardiovascular events (CEs) after following up to 6 months.

Results

For 90-day CEs, CYP2C19 gene polymorphism (Hazard Ratio (HR): 1.965, 95 % Confidence Interval (CI): 1.012-3.814), the combination of a neutrophil and lymphocyte ratio (NLR) ≥ 2.982 (HR: 13.001, 95 % CI: 1.37-97.304) or a platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) ≥ 162.42 (HR: 2.878, 95 % CI: 1.212-6.835) was independent predictors of CEs. For 180-day CEs, CYP2C19 gene polymorphism combination with NLR ≥3.02 (HR: 13.946, 95 % CI: 1.833-106.121) or PLR ≥160.38 (HR: 5.349, 95 % CI: 1.379-20.745) or monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR) ≥ 0.3 (HR: 4.699, 95 % CI: 1.032-31.393) were independent predictors of CEs.

Conclusion

NLR, PLR or MLR combined with CYP2C19 gene polymorphism were stronger independent predictors of cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndromes compared to CYP2C19 gene polymorphism and inflammatory cell ratios separately. CYP2C19 polymorphism and high NLR was the strongest predictor of both CEs at 90 days and 180 days.

CYP2C19 loss-of-function is associated with increased risk of hypertension in a Hakka population: a case-control study

BACKGROUND

Genetic factors have a certain proportion in the risk factors of hypertension. The purpose was to investigate the relationship of cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) polymorphisms with hypertension in Hakka population.

METHODS

The study included 1,872 hypertensive patients and 1,110 controls. The genotypes of CYP2C19 rs4244285 and rs4986893 of all individuals were detected and analyzed.

RESULTS

The genotype and allele distributions of CYP2C19 rs4244285 were significantly different between hypertension group and control group. The CYP2C19 *1/*1 genotype was the most predominant among the subjects (40.8%), followed by the CYP2C19 *1/*2 genotype (40.5%). The percentage of CYP2C19*1, *2, and *3 allele was 64.2%, 30.8%, and 5.0%, respectively. The proportion of intermediate metabolizers (IM) (49.3% vs. 42.9%), poor metabolizers (PM) (14.3% vs. 8.9%) (P < 0.001), and CYP2C19*2 allele (33.8% vs. 25.7%, P < 0.001) in hypertension group was significantly higher than that in control group. Multivariate logistic regression (adjusted for gender, age, smoking, and drinking) indicated that CYP2C19 *1/*2, *1/*3, and *2/*2 genotypes may increase susceptibility to hypertension. And the CYP2C19 IM genotype (IM vs. EM: OR 1.514, 95% CI: 1.291-1.775, P < 0.001), PM genotype (PM vs. EM: OR 2.120, 95% CI: 1.638-2.743, P < 0.001), IM + PM genotypes (IM + PM vs. EM: OR 1.617, 95% CI: 1.390-1.882, P < 0.001) may increase risk of hypertension.

CONCLUSIONS

CYP2C19 loss-of-function (IM, PM genotypes) is independent risk factor for hypertension susceptibility. Specifically, the risk genotypes include CYP2C19 *1/*2, *1/*3, and *2/*2.
