Abstract
Drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) are unpredictable, complex responses to medicines in predisposed individuals. They represent a major health problem owing to the number of patients affected and the severity of the clinical conditions they can induce. In addition to environmental factors, the underlying mechanisms of DHRs are also influenced by genetic factors, although considerable gaps remain in our knowledge. Therefore, further study of the genetics of DHRs is necessary to shed light on their underlying mechanisms. In this manuscript, we provide an update on the genetic basis of the most frequent types of DHRs, including those mediated by immunological and nonimmunological mechanisms. For the first group, we will focus on immediate reactions to β-lactam antibiotics, which are associated mainly with the IgE pathway (IL13, IL4R, LGALS3, and NOD2) and antigen presentation (HLA-DRA), and nonimmediate reactions to allopurinol, anticonvulsants, antibiotics, and antiretrovirals, which are often associated with polymorphisms in the HLA system. For the second group, we will focus on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which are mostly associated with genetic variants in enzymes and receptors from the arachidonic acid pathway (eg, ALOX5, ALOX5AP, PTGDR, and CYSLTR1). The information provided here will be of interest for medical practitioners from a range of disciplines who come across these reactions in their clinical practice, as well as for allergologists.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Individuals who develop drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) to chemically unrelated nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are considered cross-hypersensitive. The hallmark for this classification is that the patient presents a reaction after intake of or challenge with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). Whether patients react to 2 or more NSAIDs while tolerating ASA remains to be studied (selective reactions, SRs). Objective: To identify patients with SRs to 2 or more NSAIDs including strong COX-1 inhibitors. METHODS Patients who attended the Allergy Service of Hospital Infanta Leonor, Madrid, Spain with DHRs to NSAIDs between January 2011 and December 2014 were evaluated. Those with 2 or more immediate reactions occurring in less than 1 hour after intake were included. After confirming tolerance to ASA, the selectivity of the response to 2 or more NSAIDs was demonstrated by in vivo and/or in vitro testing or by controlled administration. RESULTS From a total of 203 patients with immediate DHRs to NSAIDs, 16 (7.9%) met the inclusion criteria. The patients presented a total of 68 anaphylactic or cutaneous reactions (mean [SD], 4.2 [2.1]). Most reactions were to ibuprofen and other arylpropionic acid derivatives and to metamizole. Two different NSAIDs were involved in 11 patients and 3 in 5 patients. CONCLUSIONS Patients with NSAID-induced anaphylaxis or urticaria/angioedema should not be considered cross-hypersensitive unless tolerance to ASA is verified.
