New genetic findings lead the way to a better understanding of fundamental mechanisms of drug hypersensitivity
1 Aug 2015
Abstract excerpt
Drug hypersensitivity reactions are an important clinical problem for both health care and industry. Recent advances in genetics have identified a number of HLA alleles associated with a range of these adverse reactions predominantly affecting the skin but also other organs, such as the liver. The associations between abacavir hypersensitivity and HLA-B*57:01 and carbamazepine-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome and...
