The HLA-B*15:02 allele is associated with an increased risk of developing carbamazepine (CBZ)-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). Many studies, however, have demonstrated that a large majority of HLA-B*15:02 individuals are unlikely to develop the adverse drug reaction while on CBZ. This phenomenon suggests that other factors that modulate the allergic immune response,...
