Abstract: Background: Patients with T2DM have reduced responsiveness to the platelet P2Y12 receptor antagonist clopidogrel compared to non-diabetics. However, variability in clopidogrel-induced antiplatelet effects has been observed among T2DM and those with elevated platelet reactivity have a higher risk of atherothrombotic events. Since variation in insulin sensitivity modulates platelet P2Y12 signaling, the aim of this study was to evaluate if SNPs of the insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) are associated with variation in the response to clopidogrel in T2DM patients. Methods: A total of 7 tagSNPs (rs1801278, rs11683087, rs1801123, rs1896832, rs956115, rs2251692, rs6725330) were determined in 180 T2DM patients with coronary artery disease in a steady state phase of clopidogrel therapy. Patients were classified into carriers and non-carriers of the variant allele for each SNP according to a dominant model. In addition, haplotype distribution of IRS-1 genes within our population was assessed. Platelet function was determined by LTA following 20 μM adenosine diphosphate stimuli (ADP). Platelet aggregation according to genotype and haplotype was determined. Results: The 7 tagSNPs were accountable for 93% of the haplotype distribution of the IRS-1 gene. Platelet aggregation was 55±15% in the overall population. Preliminary results showed an association between carriers of the variant C allele of the rs956115 SNP (n=34) and the highest degree of platelet reactivity (60±14%; p<0.05). Conclusions: rs956115 polymorphism of IRS-1 gene is associated with lower clopidogrel-induced antiplatelet effects in T2DM patients with coronary artery disease.

Since variation in insulin sensitivity modulates platelet P2Y12 signaling, the aim of this study was to evaluate if SNPs of the insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) are associated with variation in the response to clopidogrel in T2DM patients. Methods: A total of 7 tagSNPs (rs1801278, rs11683087, rs1801123, rs1896832, rs956115, rs2251692, rs6725330) were determined in 180 T2DM patients with coronary artery disease in a steady state phase of clopidogrel therapy.
