BACKGROUND: Allopurinol, a common medication for gout treatment, can cause rare but life-threatening severe cutaneous adverse reactions. A strong pharmacogenetic association of human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-B*58:01 with allopurinol-induced drug hypersensitivity has been reported, especially in the Han Chinese population. OBJECTIVES: To develop a rapid and simple loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay...
