Recently, genome wide association studies showed that there is a strong association between abacavir-induced serious, idiosyncratic, adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and human leukocyte antigen-B*5701 (HLA-B*5701). Studies also found that abacavir-induced ADRs were seldom observed in patients carrying the HLA-B*5801 subtype. HLA-B*5801 of the same serotype (B17) as B*5701 differs by only 4 amino acids from B*5701....
