Impact of Genetic Variation in CES1 on Antiplatelet Therapy

The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate when genetic variation in the
carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) gene influences antiplatelet therapy response, as assessed by ex
vivo platelet aggregometry, in healthy participants treated with clopidogrel and ticagrelor.
We hypothesize that genetic variation in CES1 will significantly impact on-clopidogrel
platelet aggregation while having a minimal effect in ticagrelor-treated subjects.

Specific Aim: To conduct a prospective randomized crossover study of clopidogrel and
ticagrelor in healthy individuals stratified by CES1 genotype. Participants will be recruited
by CES1 genotype into a randomized crossover study of clopidogrel (75 mg daily for 7d) and
ticagrelor (90 mg twice daily for 7d) with extensive phenotyping including ex vivo platelet
aggregometry performed pre- and post-drug administration in order to assess the interaction
of genotype and drug choice on on-treatment platelet function.


Inclusion Criteria:

member of an Amish Research Center study participant.

Exclusion Criteria:

- History of gastrointestinal bleeding, a major life-threatening bleeding event, active
pathological bleeding, bleeding diathesis, or coagulopathy

- History of stroke or transient ischemic attack, deep vein thrombosis, or atrial

- Participant cannot willingly and safely discontinue medications that, in the opinion
of the study physician would affect the outcomes to be measured for at least 1 week
prior to study initiation through completion of the study

- Participant is unwilling to discontinue taking vitamins and/or supplements that, in
the opinion of the study physician would affect the outcomes to be measured for 1 week
prior to the study initiation through the the completion of the study

- Any other condition that would place prospective participants at unacceptable risk or
render them unable to meet the requirements of the protocol in the opinion of the site
investigator
