Adverse drug reactions triggered by the common HLA-B*57:01 variant: a molecular docking study

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) surface proteins are directly involved in idiosyncratic adverse drug reactions. Herein, we present a structure-based analysis of the common HLA-B*57:01 variant known to be responsible for several HLA-linked adverse effects such as the abacavir hypersensitivity syndrome. METHODS: First, we analyzed three X-ray crystal structures involving the HLA-B*57:01 protein variant,...
