AIMS: Treatment with the first-line antiepileptic drug, carbamazepine (CBZ), is associated with adverse cutaneous reactions in up to 10% of patients. One predisposition to these side-effects has been linked to the HLA-A*31:01 allele. HLA-typing is costly and time-consuming. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, rs1061235A > T) has been suggested as a marker for the HLA-A*31:01 allele. We sought to develop and...
