ABSTRACT: Introduction
Clopidogrel, the first-choice antiplatelet agent for patient undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) along with Aspirin. Clopidogrel resistance is one of the major obstacles that cause MACE and failure of PCI. Kinase Insert Domain (KDR) gene responsible for VEGFR2 coding, the major receptor that translates VEGF ligand. The rs2305948 SNP in VEGFR2 gene has been documented to be involved atherogenesis and in CAD pathogenesis.Aim
To study the impact of KDR gene polymorphism rs2305948 on clopidogrel resistance in patients undergoing elective PCI.Methods
A case control study with 324 patients documented for elective PCI whom divided according to platelet aggregation level measured into (CR) with 111patients and (NCR) that consists of 213 patients. Serum lipids and VEGFR2 levels, BMI and platelet count were measured. Genotype for rs2305948 was done by PCR-RFLP.Results
Allele frequency and genotype results indicate a significant association with the pathogenesis of CR in all models in CR group compared to NCR group, a significant correlation for T allele with LDL, cholesterol and serum VEGFR2 in dominant and co-dominant models. RFLP-PCR results were documented by gene sequencing and results were compatible with HWE.Conclusion
rs2305948 SNP is associated with occurrences of CR and have an influence in the development of other metabolic changes.
