PON1 Q192R and Clopidogrel: A Case of the Winner’s Curse or Inadequate Replication?

Abstract: The antiplatelet drug clopidogrel is one of the most commonly prescribed drugs in the world, but there is wide interpatient variability in its antiplatelet effects. The majority of this variation is due to genetic effects, but there is controversy over which genetic variants are important and their relative contribution. This controversy may stem from the genetic association research paradigm, which casts the "winner's curse."

“…Experiments establishing the mechanism of GATM involvement with SIM are necessary and could shed light on the specific conditions, if any, in which GATM affects SIM. If a clear mechanism cannot be established, then the findings by Mangravite et al (2013) could have been another case of the “winner’s curse.” The “winner’s curse” is a common phenomenon in genetic association literature, in which the initial reported genotype–phenotype association is exaggerated relative to the estimated effect in follow-up studies or cannot subsequently be replicated at all (Talameh and McLeod, 2011; Zollner and Pritchard, 2007). …”

“…In our meta-analysis, most of the studies addressing the association of the PON1-Q192R variant with clinical events involved composite endpoints, with a low incidence of stent thrombosis, possibly leading to an underestimation of the clinical importance of the PON1 genotype (Table 1). Another potential bias is ethnic heterogeneity across the different studies, resulting in genetic differences that might have influenced the response to clopidogrel [45]. Drug-drug interactions, mainly via CYP3A4/ 5, are another important issue when analyzing the variability of clopidogrel responsiveness [46].…”

“…Differences in populations may be the second issue; the frequency of the Q192 allele is somewhat lower in their cohort study (63.9%) than in any of the other studies [21,[23][24][25][26][31][32][33][34][35]. The observed clinical differences between PON1 gene variants may be due to clopidogrel-unrelated mechanisms, as PON1 plays a direct effect on atherogenesis by protecting low-density lipoprotein from oxidation [58]. This may partly explain the trend towards an association of the PON1-Q192R variant with MACE, best seen in four studies in addition to Bouman's studies (Figure 2) [15,20].…”
