HLA B*58:01 Genotype details

What HLA B*58:01 Genotype shows

HLA-B is one of the immune system genes that help your body recognize what belongs to it. The HLA-B*58:01 variant is linked to a higher risk of severe skin and hypersensitivity reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, to allopurinol, a medicine used to lower uric acid in gout. This genotype result reports whether the variant was found in your DNA. It is a lifelong genetic result, not a level that changes. Carrying it raises the risk but does not mean a reaction will happen, and not carrying it does not exclude one, so the result helps a prescriber weigh options rather than deciding on its own.
