PG - 99-103 LID - S1059-1311(18)30723-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.seizure.2019.02.011 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: Aromatic antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are frequently implicated in cutaneous adverse drug reactions (cADRs), a few of which are associated with certain human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles in some populations. We aimed to find HLA-associations with AED-related cADRs among North Indians. METHODS: North Indian subjects with cADR due to an AED, and those who were AED-tolerant were recruited as cases and controls, respectively. Genotyping for HLA-A, B and DRB1 were performed. Statistical analysis to compare carrier-rates and allele-frequencies between cases and controls (and healthy population, where necessary), was done for HLA-alleles occurring more than twice in either group. RESULTS: 120 cases 11 - Lamotrigine (LTG), 14 -Valproic acid (VPA), 8 -Levetiracetam (LEV), 35 -Carbamazepine (CBZ) and 52 - Phenytoin (PHT), and 250 controls were recruited. Presence of HLA-A*31:01 and HLA-B*51:01 were found to increase the risk of Maculopapular exanthema (MPE) due to CBZ and PHT (OR = 6.38; 95% CI: 1.46-27.75; OR = 4.60; 95% CI: 1.54-13.72, respectively). Among the severe cADRs, HLA-B*57:01(OR = 11.00 95% CI: 1.41-85.81) and HLA-DRB1*07:01 (OR = 7.25; 95% CI: 1.09-48.18) were noted to be significantly associated with CBZ-induced Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS)/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN); HLA-B *51:01 was associated with drug reaction eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) caused by PHT (OR = 6.90; 95% CI: 1.38-34.29). CONCLUSIONS: We found significant associations of some HLA alleles with specific cADRs to CBZ and PHT in North Indians, which may need to be tested before AED-initiation; only screening for HLA-B*15:02 may not help in this population.
