The HLA-B*15:02 allele was strongly related to carbamazepine-induced Steven-Johnson syndrome (SJS)-toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) in Taiwanese and Thai populations (Tassaneeyakul et al., 2010; Chen et al., 2011; Sukasem et al., 2014b). The gene discussed is HLA-B; the disease is toxic epidermal necrolysis.
