Genetic markers associated with cutaneous adverse drug reactions to allopurinol: a systematic review

Pharmacogenomic markers in the HLA coding genes have been associated with drug hypersensitivity of multiple drugs, including allopurinol. In this systematic review, we summarize the pharmacogenomic evidence available regarding allopurinol-induced cutaneous adverse drug reactions (cADRs). We found th...

Description
Summary:Pharmacogenomic markers in the HLA coding genes have been associated with drug hypersensitivity of multiple drugs, including allopurinol. In this systematic review, we summarize the pharmacogenomic evidence available regarding allopurinol-induced cutaneous adverse drug reactions (cADRs). We found that the allele was significantly associated with the risk of severe cADRs in the Han Chinese, Korean, Thai, Japanese and European populations. The association between less severe cADRs and was less consistent. All SNPs identified in genome-wide association studies of common variants were also located in or nearby . Future studies should focus on more common but less severe allopurinol-induced cADRs, as well as the potential role of rare variants as predictors of these cADRs.
