ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical characteristics and gene polymorphism of oxcarbazepine (OXC)- induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). METHODS:Retrieved from CNKI,Wanfang,VIP, PubMed,EMBase,SpringerLink and other databases,case reports about OXC-induced severe ADR were summarized and ana-lyzed. RESULTS:Twelve literatures were collected,and 13 case reports about OXC-induced SJS/TEN were obtained. Male had more OXC-induced severe skin ADR than female. ADR mostly occurred during 1-14 d after medication. All patients were cured with treatment of glucocorticoid and antiallergy,without death case. Genotyping for 8 patients were performed and 6 of them showed the presence of HLA-B*1502 allele. While HLA-B alleles of 2 patients were HLA-B*1518/B*4001,which was the variation of HLA-B*1502. CONCLUSIONS:OXC-induced ADR should be monitored closely. Great importance should be attached to patient education and follow-up program. HLA-B*1502 gene detection should be performed to guide rational use of OXC and optimize clini-cal drug use plan.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effects of HLA-B?1502 genetic polymorphism on cyclosporine( CsA)-induced liver injury in Chinese renal transplant recipients. Methods:HLA-B?1502 genotypes were determined by polymerase amplification chaln reaction of sequence-specific primers( PCR-SSP) in a total of 339 renal transplant recipients receiving CsA. All the subjects were divided into the CsA-induced liver injury group, non-CsA-induced liver injury group and the control group according to the liver injury occurrence. Results:In the 339 renal transplant recipients, the frequency of HLA-B?1502 mutation allele was 22. 64%. The distribution frequen-cy of HLA-B?1502 mutation allele had no significant difference among the three groups. There were no significant differences in the clinical characteristics of HLA-B?1502 genotypes among three groups(P>0. 05). Conclusion: No association is observed between HLA-B?1502 genetic polymorphism and cyclosporine-induced liver injury in Chinese renal transplant recipients.
