Comparison between the HLA-B∗58 : 01 Allele and Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Chromosome 6 for Prediction of Allopurinol-Induced Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions

Comparison between the HLA-B∗58 : 01 Allele and Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Chromosome 6 for Prediction of Allopurinol-Induced Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions

Severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCARs) are life-threatening reactions. The strong association between the HLA-B∗58 : 01 allele and allopurinol-induced SCARs is well recognized. Screening for HLA-B∗58 : 01 allele before prescribing allopurinol in some populations has been recommended. Severa...
