Susceptibility to abacavir hypersensitivity (ABC HSR) is strongly associated with alleles carried on the 57.1 ancestral haplotype including HLA-B*5701 and Hsp70 Hom M493T. In one study, prospective testing for HLA-B*5701 and exclusion of individuals carrying this allele, from receiving abacavir, substantially lowered the incidence of ABC HSR to 0% (95% confidence interval 0-0.075%). The presence of HLA-B*5701 is...
