NCBI offers a variety of clinical genetic resources to help you research, diagnose, and treat diseases and conditions. You can quickly and easily access our data and tools through the <\/span>Medical Genetics and Human Variation page<\/span><\/a> of the NCBI website.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Your patient is a 58-year-old woman who has been diagnosed with Acute Coronary Syndrome, scheduled for an angioplasty, and she will need to take clopidogrel for at least three months. She mentions that her father died of a stroke while taking the drug and is concerned. You look into pharmacogenetic influences on clopidogrel response and use the results of your patient\u2019s genetic test to determine if a change in the prescription is needed.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Use the following relevant NCBI resources to gather information useful for optimizing your patient\u2019s medication.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nHow and why should you use our resources?
