Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Carbamazepine (CBZ), which is widely used in management of epilepsy or neuropathic pain, causes fatal severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs). CBZ-induced SCARs are known to occur in strong association with human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A*31:01 in Japanese and European populations. HLA genotyping is currently used to detect human HLA-A*31:01. OBJECTIVE: To establish a simple and rapid screening...
