PG - S79-S80 LID - S1087-0024(18)30006-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jisp.2018.09.006 [doi] AB - Major histocompatibility complex (MHC), also known as human leukocyte antigen (HLA) in humans, is one of the most genetically diverse regions in the genome of various species. The human MHC contains about 400 genes in a approximately 7.6-Mb span located on the short arm of the chromosomal region 6p21.3. According to the NHGRI-EBI Catalog of published genome-wide association studies (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/) in HLA region, more than 500 associations have been identified for about 200 traits or phenotypes, including primary immune deficiencies, autoimmune diseases, susceptibility to infections, malignancies, and psychiatric conditions (Welter et al., 2014). For example, multiple sclerosis is associated with HLA-DRB1 *1501 (Handunnetthi et al., 2010); the control of HIV viral load is associated with variants near HLA-C (Kulpa and Collins, 2011). Some acute drug reactions are associated with specific HLA alleles. Carbamazepine-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis have been strongly associated with HLA-B*1502 in Han Chinese population and HLA-A*3101 in European populations (Chung et al., 2004; McCormack et al., 2011). The HLA-B*13:01 is associated with the development of the dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome among patients with leprosy (Zhang et al., 2013). CI - Copyright (c) 2018 The Authors.
