Brief Summary

This study builds, in part, upon preliminary results generated as part of the Pharmacogenomics Anti-Platelet Intervention (PAPI) Study (NCT00799396). The purpose of this investigation is to assess the impact of genetic variation in the carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) on response to clopidogrel as well as dual antiplatelet therapy (i.e. clopidogrel and aspirin), as assessed by ex vivo platelet aggregometry, in healthy Amish individuals. The investigators hypothesize that participants who carry alleles that modify the activity or expression of CES1 will have altered response to clopidogrel as well as dual antiplatelet therapy.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes in Platelet Function in Response to ClopidogrelMeasured at baseline and after 8 days of clopidogrel treatment

Baseline minus post clopidogrel/pre-aspirin platelet rich plasma (PRP) maximum aggregation in response to ADP (20 ug/ml) or collagen (5 ug/ml). Maximum platelet aggregation is recorded by the platelet aggregometer as a percentage. Data shown below represent the maximum platelet aggregation value obtained at baseline (recorded as a percentage) minus the maximum platelet aggregation value obtained after clopidogrel administration but before aspirin administration (also recorded as percentage). Thus, values recorded below represent a percentage change.

Changes in Platelet Function in Response to Clopidogrel Plus AspirinMeasured at baseline and after 8 days clopidogrel administration plus 1 day of aspirin treatment

Baseline minus post clopidogrel/post-aspirin platelet rich plasma (PRP) maximum aggregation in response to ADP (20 ug/ml) or collagen (5 ug/ml). Maximum platelet aggregation is recorded by the platelet aggregometer as a percentage. Data shown below represent the maximum platelet aggregation value obtained at baseline (recorded as a percentage) minus the maximum platelet aggregation value obtained after clopidogrel and aspirin administration (also recorded as percentage). Thus, values recorded below represent a percentage change.
