HLA-B*5701 Screening for Hypersensitivity to Abacavir

TL;DR: HLA-B*5701 screening reduced the risk of hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir and showed that a pharmacogenetic test can be used to prevent a specific toxic effect of a drug.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between presence of HLA-B*5701, HLA-DR7, and HLA-DQ3 and hypersensitivity to HIV-1 reverse-transcriptase inhibitor abacavir

TL;DR: In this population of HIV-1-positive individuals, withholding abacavir in those with HLA-B*5701, H LA-DR7, and Hla-DQ3 should reduce the prevalence of hypersensitivity from 9% to 2.5% without inappropriately denying abacvir to any patient.
