Human leukocyte antigen-associated severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions: from bedside to bench and beyond.

ABSTRACT: Despite their being uncommon, severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCARs) result in a very great burden of disease. These reactions not only carry with them a high mortality (10%-50%) and high morbidity (60%) with severe ocular complications, alopecia, oral and dental complications and development of autoimmune diseases, but also create a substantial economic burden for patients' families and society. SCARs are, therefore, an important medical problem needing a solution in many countries, especially in Asia. The clinical spectrum of SCARs comprises Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, DRESS (drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms) (also known as drug hypersensitivity syndrome or drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome) and acute generalised exanthematous pustulosis. Recent crucial advances in determining genetic susceptibility and understanding how T cells recognise certain medications or their metabolites via the major histocompatibility complex and the effects of cofactors, have led to the implementation of cost-effective screening programs enabling prevention in a number of countries, and to further understanding of the patho-mechanisms involved in SCARs and their significance. In this review, we document comprehensively the journey of SCARs from bedside to bench and outline future perspectives in SCARs research.

Project description:Aromatic antiepileptic drugs (AEDs)-induced cutaneous adverse drug reactions (cADRs) add up to the limited use of the AEDs in the treatment and prevention of seizures. Human leukocyte antigen-B (HLA-B) alleles have been linked to AEDs-induced cADRs. We investigated the association between cADRs (including Stevens-Johnson syndrome; SJS/toxic epidermal necrolysis; TEN, drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms; DRESS, and Maculopapular eruption; MPE) caused by AEDs (phenytoin, carbamazepine, lamotrigine, phenobarbital and oxcarbazepine) and HLA-B alleles in Thai population. Through the case-control study, 166 patients with AEDs-induced cADRs, 426 AEDs-tolerant patients (AEDs-tolerant controls), and 470 healthy subjects (Thai population) were collected. The HLA genotypes were detected using the polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific oligonucleotide probe (PCR-SSOP) method. We also performed a meta-analysis with these data and other populations. The carrier rate of HLA-B*15:02 was significantly different between AEDs-induced cADRs group and AEDs-tolerant group (Odds ratio; OR 4.28, 95% Confidence interval; CI 2.64-6.95, p < 0.001), AEDs-induced cADRs group and Thai population (OR 2.15, 95%CI 1.41-3.29, p < 0.001). In meta-analysis showed the strong association HLA-B*15:02 with AEDs-induced cADRs (OR 4.77, 95%CI 1.79-12.73, p < 0.001). Furthermore, HLA-B*15:02 was associated with SJS/TEN induced by AEDs (OR 10.28, 95%CI 6.50-16.28, p < 0.001) Phenytoin (OR 4.12, 95%CI 1.77-9.59, p = 0.001) and carbamazepine (OR 137.69, 95%CI 50.97-371.98, p < 0.001). This study demonstrated that genetic association for AEDs-induced cADRs was phenotype-specific. A strong association between HLA-B*15:02 and AEDs-induced SJS/TEN was demonstrated with an OR of 10.79 (95%CI 5.50-21.16, p < 0.001) when compared with AEDs-tolerant group. On the other hand, the carrier rates of HLA-B*08:01, HLA-B*13:01, and HLA-B*56:02 were significantly higher in the DRESS group compared with the AEDs-tolerant group (p = 0.029, 0.007, and 0.017, respectively). The HLA-B*15:02 allele may represent a risk factor for AEDs-induced cADRs.
