Several human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles have been demonstrated to be risk factors for CBZ-induced SJS/TEN, including HLA-B*15:02 in the Han Chinese and Southeast Asian populations (Chung et al., 2004; Tassaneeyakul et al., 2010; Shi et al., 2017), and HLA-A*31:01 in Japanese and European populations (McCormack et al., 2011; Ozeki et al., 2011), while HLA-A*24:02 is a common risk factor for AEDs-SJS/TEN (Shi et al., 2017). The gene discussed is HLA-B; the disease is toxic epidermal necrolysis.
