Aim:
HLA-B*15:02 has been demonstrated as a key risk factor for carbamazepine-induced severe cutaneous adverse reaction (sCAR), especially in Asian population. Oxcarbazepine (OXC) is a drug that has a similar structure of carbamazepine. However, the relationship between HLA-B*15:02 and induced cutaneous adverse reaction (cADR) remains unknown. This study aims to analyze this association in the published literature.
Method:
After filtering studies, eight studies were finally included for meta-analysis, including 32 sCAR cases, 112 mild cutaneous adverse reaction (mcADR) cases, 281 OXC tolerant control and 946 population control cases.
Result:
In the tolerant control group, an association was found between HLA-B*15:02 genotype and OXC-induced sCAR (odds ratio [OR]: 18.13; 95% CI: 6.77-48.56), but not in mcADR (OR: 1.43; 95% CI: 0.56-3.64). In population control group, an association was found between HLA-B*15:02 genotype and OXC-induced sCAR, (OR: 8.22; 95% CI: 3.03-22.34), but not in mcADR (OR: 2.06; 95% CI: 0.91-4.67).
Discussion:
Our study demonstrates that the genetic risk factor HLA-B*15:02 may be a factor in OXC-induced sCAR.
