Abstract

Coronary artery disease is a substantial public health concern in the United States. Clopidogrel, an oral, antiplatelet medication, is a mainstay of medical therapy, but its activity is dependent on the CYP2C19 enzyme. Enzyme activity varies across the population based on variability in CYP2C19 alleles that can lead to loss of enzyme activity. Prasugrel and ticagrelor are newer alternatives to clopidogrel that avoid pharmacogenomic concerns but are more expensive and may be associated with more bleeding. This review aims to evaluate the existing literature surrounding the role of pharmacogenomics in the management of patients who require oral P2Y12 inhibitor therapy, discuss the implementation of clinical programs to promote a personalized medicine-based approach utilizing pharmacogenomics, and describe challenges and future directions for pharmacogenomics-based practice models.
