Clopidogrel resistance results in recurring ischemic episodes, with African Americans suffering disproportionately.

We validated genome-wide and suggestive hits in an independent cohort of African American clopidogrel patients (N = 823) from the Million Veteran\u2019s Program (MVP) along with\n                  <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                  functional follow up.

Higher\n                  <jats:italic>THSD7A<\/jats:italic>\n                  expression was associated with HTPR in an independent gene expression cohort of clopidogrel treated patients (p = 0.004) and supported by increased gene expression on\n                  <jats:italic>THSD7A<\/jats:italic>\n                  in primary human endothelial cells carrying the risk haplotype.
