HLA-B58

HLA-B (alpha)-β2MG with bound peptide
major histocompatibility complex (human), class I, B58
Alleles	*5801, *5802
Structure (See HLA-B)
Shared data
Locus	chr.6 6p21.31

HLA-B58 (B58) is an HLA-B serotype. B58 is a split antigen from the B17 broad antigen, the sister serotype B57.^[1] The serotype identifies the more common HLA-B*58 gene products.^[2] (For terminology help see: HLA-serotype tutorial) B*5801 is associated with allopurinol induced inflammatory necrotic skin disease.

Disease

HLA-B*5801 is involved in allopurinol sensitive drug induced Stevens–Johnson syndrome.^[5][6] Allopurinol is a frequent cause of severe cutaneous adverse reactions, including drug-hypersensitivity syndrome, Stevens–Johnson syndrome, and toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN).^[7] The association with allopurinol sensitivity in JSJ/TEN was extremely strong in Asia, and somewhat less associated in Europeans.^[8]
