ABSTRACT Genetic risk factors for ticlopidine-induced hepatotoxicity were determined in 22 Japanese patients with ticlopidine-induced hepatotoxicity and 85 Japanese patients who tolerated
ticlopidine therapy without experiencing adverse reactions. There was a significant correlation between ticlopidine-induced hepatotoxicity and five human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles:
HLA-A*3303, HLA-B*4403, HLA-Cw*1403, HLA-DRB1*1302 and HLA-DQB1*0604 (corrected probability (_P_)-value (_Pc_)<0.01). In particular HLA-A*3303 was present in 15 (68%) of the 22 patients
with ticlopidine-induced hepatotoxicity and in 12 (14%) of the 85 ticlopidine-tolerant patients (odds ratio, 13.04; 95% confidence interval (CI), 4.40–38.59; the corrected _P_-value
(_Pc_)=1.24 × 10–5). HLA-A*3303 was present in 12 (86%) of the 14 patients with ticlopidine-induced cholestatic hepatotoxicity (odds ratio, 36.50; 95% CI, 7.25–183.82, _Pc_=7.32 × 10–7).
Ticlopidine-induced severe cholestatic hepatotoxicity occurred more frequently in subjects with HLA-A*3303 and its haplotype in Japanese patients. These findings may explain the high
incidence of ticlopidine-induced hepatotoxicity in Japanese patients mediated via an immune-mediated mechanism. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of
