HLA-B*15:02 screening before carbamazepine (CBZ) prescription in Asian populations is the recommended practice to prevent CBZ-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome (CBZ-SJS). However, a number of patients have developed CBZ-SJS even having no HLA-B*15:02. Herein, we present the case of a Thai patient who had a negative HLA-B*15:02 screening result but later developed CBZ-SJS. Further HLA typing revealed HLA-B*15:21/B*13:01. HLA-B*15:21 is a member of the HLA-B75 serotype and is commonly found in Southeast Asian populations. Based on this case, we hypothesised that if all HLA-B*15:02 carriers were prevented from CBZ prescription, another common HLA-B75 serotype marker would show its association with CBZ-SJS. To test this hypothesis, we pooled data from previous association studies in Asian populations, excluded all cases with HLA-B*15:02, and analysed the association significance of HLA-B75 serotype markers. A significant association was found between CBZ-SJS and HLA-B*15:21 and HLA-B*15:11. We also applied an in silico analysis and found that all HLA-B75 serotype molecules shared similar capability in binding the CBZ molecule. In summary, this report provides the first evidence of a positive association between HLA-B*15:21 and CBZ-SJS and the first in silico analysis of CBZ binding sites and details of the molecular behaviour of HLA-B75 molecule to explain its molecular action.

Genetic screening for HLA-B*15:02 before prescribing carbamazepine is standard practice to prevent severe cutaneous adverse reactions in Asian populations. These reactions are associated not only with this allele but also with closely related HLA-B75 serotype markers-HLA-B*15:11 and HLA-B*15:21-which are prevalent in several Asian countries. However, a reliable method for identifying HLA-B75 serotype markers is still not available.

Background: Carbamazepine (CBZ) is an FDA-approved anticonvulsant that is widely used to treat epilepsy, bipolar disorder, trigeminal neuralgia and chronic pain. Several studies have reported a strong association between HLA-B*15:02 and carbamazepine-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). However, the HLA-B75 serotype (HLA-B*15:02, HLA-B*15:08, HLA-B*15:11 and HLA-B*15:21) has been found in patients with carbamazepine-induced SJS/TEN.

Article Synopsis
- Carbamazepine (CBZ) can cause severe skin reactions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), with certain genetic factors like HLA polymorphisms being linked to these adverse effects.
- The study involved 91 patients with CBZ-induced SCARs and 144 who tolerated the drug, focusing on HLA-A, HLA-B, and EPHX1 genetic variations.
- Results showed that the HLA-B*15:02 allele is a strong predictor of these severe reactions, and HLA-B75 serotypes also indicate increased risk, while no significant link was found with EPHX1 polymorphisms.*

A case-control study was conducted in Filipino patients to determine the association between HLA alleles and carbamazepine-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). A retrospective review of medical records and data collection were performed. A total of 10 carbamazepine-induced SJS/TEN cases and 40 tolerant controls were recruited.
