Clopidogrel is less effective at preventing subsequent strokes in patients with certain variations in the CYP2C19 gene and testing could aid treatment selection.
As part of the program, point-of-care tests sold by Genedrive and Genomadix will be assessed, as well as laboratory-developed tests used within the UK National Health Service.
The companies were recently awarded a €2.4 million Eurostars grant to support the development and validation of the assay.
