Around 100,000 people in the UK each year will have a stroke – a serious life-threatening condition that happens when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off by a blood clot. Clopidogrel prevents platelets (a type of blood cell) from sticking together and forming a dangerous blood clot. However, around 29 per cent of all patients in the UK (and up to 60 per cent in different ethnic groups) have a change in the CYP2C19 gene which reduces clopidogrel’s effectiveness. Individuals carrying changes in the CYP2C19 gene are also twice as likely to have further strokes when treated with clopidogrel. If these genetic changes can be detected before treatment, then doctors can use an alternative, more effective medicine. To read the full article please visit:
🗞️ Manchester leads implementation of lifesaving genetic bedside stroke test. An innovative bedside genetic test developed by researchers at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust and The University of Manchester, in collaboration with genedrive, being implemented in Manchester, could dramatically improve outcomes for thousands of people in the UK affected by stroke each year. Approximately 100,000 people in the UK each year will have a stroke – a serious life-threatening condition that happens when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off by a blood clot. Using a simple cheek swab, genetic the test can tell healthcare professionals in approximately one hour if stroke patients will be more likely to benefit from clopidogrel, the current first-line treatment to prevent recurrence. 🧬🧪 Incredible research led by Professor William Newman and Dr John H McDermott👏. 👇 https://lnkd.in/e8rW5UZv
