Conclusion
Reference
Abacavir (ABC) is a nucleoside analog reverse trascriptase inhibitor (NRTI) used to treat HIV and AIDS. The pharmacogenetics of abacavir are relate to the human leukocyte antigen B (HLA-B) gene and its variant allele *57:01. This particular allele has been strongly associated with abacavir hypersensitivity. Limited research has been conducted in this area, though some potential exists for a variant in the gene HSP70-HOM , whose protein is hypothesized to have direct involvement in the stimulation of an immune reaction to abacavir.
