Abstract
BACKGROUND
HLA-B*15:02 is highly associated with carbamazepine-induced SJS/TEN; however, there is no rapid and accurate detecting method. Here, we present a method to distinguish HLA-B*15:02 from 16 highly homologous HLA-B*15 alleles.
METHODS
The high-throughput two-dimensional polymerase chain reaction (2D-PCR) technology was employed to identify HLA-B*15:02 in two-tube reaction. And, 2D-PCR accuracy was verified by PCR-sequence based typing (PCR-SBT).
RESULTS
HLA-B*15:02 heterozygotes were identified by 14 melting valleys in the first tube reaction and none in the second, or by 13 melting valleys in the first tube reaction and one in the second. HLA-B*15:02 homozygote was identified by 13 melting valleys in the first tube reaction and none in the second. Three (0.16%) HLA-B*15:02 homozygotes and 84 (4.59%) HLA-B*15:02 heterozygotes were detected in 1830 samples of clinical general population without detecting 16 highly homologous alleles to HLA-B*15:02. The kappa test showed 100% coincidence between the 2D-PCR and PCR-SBT.
CONCLUSIONS
2D-PCR in two-tube reaction method for identifying HLA-B*15:02 was successfully established. Identification of HLA-B*15:02 is necessary prior to taking CBZ based on HLA-B*15:02 allele frequency.
