Carriers of HLA-B*57:01 are at risk for Abacavir hypersensitivity reaction (ABC-HSR). In Caucasians, a SNP (rs2395029) in the HCP5 gene is reported to be in linkage disequilibrium (LD) with HLA-B*57:01. Genotyping the HCP5 SNP has increasingly been adopted as a simple method to screen for susceptibility to ABC-HSR. We genotyped both the HCP5 SNP and HLA-B*57:01 in a set of 1888 samples and found a good correlation; significantly, however, one HLA-B*57:01-positive sample tested negative for the HCP5 SNP. In addition, HCP5 could not be amplified in two samples, both negative for HLA-B*57:01. Further investigation demonstrated both samples were homozygous for deletion of the HCP5 gene. The fact HCP5 occurs within a region of copy number variation and the fact LD is incomplete and may vary between ethnicities should be considered when using the HCP5 SNP as a surrogate marker for HLA-B*57:01.

: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is one of the mainstream treatments for patients with hematologic malignancies. The matching status of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) between the donor and recipient is highly related to the outcomes of HSCT. Haploidentical HSCT (haplo-HSCT) has emerged as a type of HSCT for patients who cannot find a fully HLA-matched donor.

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in females. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have proposed cervical cancer susceptibility variants at the HLA locus on chromosome 6p21. To corroborate these findings and investigate their functional impact in cervical tissues and cell lines, we genotyped nine variants from cervical cancer GWASs (rs17190106, rs535777, rs1056429, rs2763979, rs143954678, rs113937848, rs3117027, rs3130214, and rs9477610) in a German hospital-based series of 1122 invasive cervical cancers, 1408 dysplasias, and 1196 healthy controls.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the genetic factors that may predict cutaneous adverse drug reactions (cADRs) to allopurinol in Thai patients, alongside the known HLA-B*58:01 allele.
- Researchers conducted a case-control study with 57 patients who experienced cADRs and 101 controls who tolerated the medication, analyzing specific genetic markers on chromosome 6p21.
- Four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified as significant predictors for cADRs, showing a strong correlation, and the findings suggest these SNPs could serve as new biomarkers for risk assessment in allopurinol therapy.

Among the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is highly diverse showing a broad phenotypic spectrum. ASD also couples with a broad range of mutations, both de novo and inherited. In this study, we used a proprietary SNP genotyping chip to analyze the genomic DNA of 250 Vietnamese children diagnosed with ASD.

Background And Purpose: Prodromal infections are associated with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), but it remains unclear which type of infection has a causal association with NMOSD. We aimed to explore the causal associations between four herpesvirus infections (chickenpox, cold sores, mononucleosis and shingles) and NMOSD, as well as between other types of infections and NMOSD.
Methods: For data on infections, we used the genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics from the 23andMe cohort.
