External quality assessment for laboratory testing of HLA-B*15:02 allele in relation to carbamazepine therapy.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Due to the significant risk of developing Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), the use of carbamazepine is not recommended in patients carrying the human leukocyte antigen B (HLA-B) *15:02 allele. In an effort to guarantee reliable community-based HLA-B*15:02 testing throughout China, a HLA-B*15:02 genotyping external quality assessment (EQA) program was set up. METHODS:In 2016, 10 genomic DNA samples with known HLA-B*15:02 allele status were sent to 37 laboratories from 16 provinces with a request for routine HLA-B*15:02 screening. The samples were validated using Sanger sequencing by a reference laboratory. Both genotyping results and clinical written reports were evaluated. RESULTS:Thirty-six of the participating laboratories correctly identified the HLA-B*15:02 allele status for all EQA samples. However, one lab failed to identify any positive challenges. The overall analytical sensitivity was 97.3% (180/185 challenges; 95% confidence interval: 93.8%-99.1%) and the analytic specificity was 100% (185/185; 95% confidence interval: 98.0%-100%). A review of the written reports showed that the clinical reporting for HLA-B*15:02 detection should be improved. Some essential information was missing, most notably laboratory information/contact, therapeutic recommendations, and methodology. CONCLUSION:External quality assessment is valuable in assessing and improving the quality of laboratory testing of HLA-B*15:02 allele.
