Furthermore, HLA-B*15:02 was reported to be strongly associated with carbamazepine-induced SJS/TEN in Asian populations (Chung et al., 2004; Locharernkul et al., 2008; Tassaneeyakul et al., 2010; Cheung et al., 2013; Tangamornsuksan et al., 2013; Chung et al., 2016), whereas it is HLA-B*57:01 that was identified to be related to SJS/TEN among Europeans (Mockenhaupt et al., 2019). Here, HLA-B is linked to toxic epidermal necrolysis.
