Wild-Type Genotype
Carriers of the CES1 G143E Mutation
Carriers of CES1 Functional Mutation
Research subjects with wild type CES1 genotypes will be studied before and after oral ingestion of clopidogrel (75 mg/d for 8 days) and ticagrelor (90 mg twice daily for 8 days) treatment.
Research subjects who carry the CES1 G143E allele (rs71647871) will be studied before and after oral ingestion of clopidogrel (75 mg/d for 8 days) and ticagrelor (90 mg twice daily for 8 days) treatment.
Research subjects who carry a CES1 mutation of potential functional impact (to be determined...studies ongoing) will be studied before and after oral ingestion of clopidogrel (75 mg/d for 8 days) and ticagrelor (90 mg twice daily for 8 days) treatment.
