Aspirin resistance candidate genes and their association with the risk of fatal cardiovascular events

Abstract

The review presents the current data available in the world literature on the most likely gene polymorphisms, such as cyclooxygenase, glycoproteins (GP) Ib/IIIa, GP Ibα, GP VI, adenosine diphosphate receptor P2Y1 and P2Y12 polymorphisms that may lead to aspirin resistance. The frequency of these polymorphisms in laboratory aspirin resistance and their association with the development of adverse cardiovascular events from the use of aspirin are considered.
