Abstract: Allopurinol is one of the most common drugs for decreasing the serum uric acid,and also highly likely to cause severe adverse reactions.Based upon pharmacogenetics and immunological findings, HLA-B*58∶01 was intimately correlated with serious allopurinol-induced adverse reaction,which significantly differed among different populations.In addition,HLA-B*58∶01 gene was neither a sufficient nor necessary factor for allopurinol-related supersensitivity.Currently,HLA-B*58∶01 detection was utilized to predict the incidence of allopurinol-related supersensitivity.However,the application value remains to be further elucida-ted.In this article,pharmacogenetics and immunological studies related to allopurinol-related supersensitivity were summarized.
