RESUMEN
Objective To observe correlation between CYP2C19 *2/CYP2C19 *3 gene polymorphism with clopidogrel resistance and distribution of Chinese medicine ( CM) syndrome in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) population. Methods Peripheral blood was collected from 229 ACS patients from June 2014 to March 2015. DNAs were extracted, amplified, and sequenced. Correlations between CYP2C19 *2/CYP2Cl9 *3 gene polymorphisms and clopidogrel resistance/distribution of CM syndrome were analyzed. Gene frequency and allele frequency were tested using gene counting and one-sample K-S test. Correlation between gene types and distribution of CM syndrome was tested by Pearson corre- lation test. Results (1) The CYP2C19 *2 polymorphism distribution: CYP2C19 *2(A/A) (mutant homozygous) 12 cases (5. 2%) ; CYP2C19 * 2 ( G/A ) ( mutant heterozygote ) 93 cases (40. 6%), and CYP2C19 *2 (G/G) (normal homozygous) 124 cases (54. 2%). The mutant allele frequency was 0. 255. (2) The CYP2C19 *3 polymorphism distribution: CYP2C19 *3 (A/A) 0 case (0) ; CYP2C19 *3 (G/A) 26 cases (11. 4%), and CYP2C19 *3 (G/G) 203 cases (88. 6%). The mutant allele frequency was 0. 056. (3) Correlation between CYP2C19 gene polymorphism and clopidogrel resistance: Clopidogrel resistance was more liable to occur in mutant homozygous than in mutant heterozygote and normal homozygous (R =0. 30, P <0. 01). Clopidogrel resistance was more liable to occur in mutant heterozygote than in normal homozygous (R =0. 34, P <0. 01). (4) Among the 229 patients, the CM syndrome distribution were distributed as follows. Blockage of Xin vessels syndrome (BXVS, 33 cases, 14. 41%) ; qi deficiency blood stasis syndrome (QDBSS, 51 cases, 22. 27%) ; qi stagnation blood stasis syndrome (QSBSS, 92 cases, 40.18%) ; phlegm obstructing Xin vessel syndrome (POXVS, 17 cases, 7. 42%) ; yin-cold coag- ulation syndrome (YCCS, 8 cases, 3. 49%) ; qi-yin deficiency syndrome (QYDS, 13 cases, 5.68%) ; Xin-Shen yin deficiency syndrome (XSYDS, 5 cases, 2.18%), yang and qi deficiency syndrome (YQDS, 10 cases, 4. 37%). (5) CYP2C19 *2 gene type was significantly correlated with syndrome typing of CM (R =0. 26, P <0. 01). Mutant homozygous and most mutant heterozygote patients were syndrome typed as QDBSS. Conclusions The polymorphism of CYP2C19 was closely correlated with clopidogrel resist- ance in 229 ACS patients. Its occurrence rate was correlated with CYP2C19 *2/CYP2C19 *3 gene muta- tion frequency. Blood stasis syndrome ( QSBSS, QDBSS, BXVS) were main syndromes of ACS. Be- sides, QSBSS was obviously higher than the rest syndrome types. The polymorphism of CYP2C19 * 2 was correlated with syndrome typing of CM. CYP2C19 *2 gene defect mostly existed in QSBSS.
