Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the link between specific gene alleles and the risk of developing Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) when taking lamotrigine (LTG), with a focus on various populations.
- It identifies two protective alleles and highlights five others that could increase the risk of LTG-induced SJS, with a significant odds ratio indicating a strong association.
- The findings suggest that genetic screening should be considered to help prevent this serious side effect, as the risk alleles may vary by ancestry.

Background: Vitiligo is an idiopathic skin disease manifested by depigmented macules. It is characterised by melanocyte destruction, and redox imbalance is proposed to play a contributory role.
Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of an ethanolic extract of Piper betle leaves on the generation of reactive oxygen species in erythrocytes sourced from vitiligo patients.
