Furthermore, other studies supported HLA-A*31:01 associated with CBZ-induced SJS/TEN, DRESS, and maculopapular exanthema (MPE) in European, Japanese, Taiwan Han Chinese, and Korean (McCormack et al., 2011; Ozeki et al., 2011; Amstutz et al., 2014). Here, HLA-A is linked to toxic epidermal necrolysis.
