Severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCARs) are life-threatening reactions. The strong association between the <i>HLA-B</i><sup>∗</sup><i>58 : 01</i> allele and allopurinol-induced SCARs is well recognized. Screening for <i>HLA-B</i><sup>∗</sup><i>58 : 01</i> allele before prescribing allopurinol in some populations has been recommended. Several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in chromosome 6 have been found to be tightly linked with the <i>HLA</i> allele, and these SNPs have been pro ...[more]
