Test Overview
This molecular test screens for the HLA‑B*15:02 allele – the single most predictive genetic marker for life‑threatening skin reactions to carbamazepine and phenytoin. In the UAE, DHA guidelines recommend mandatory testing before starting these drugs, especially for individuals with South, East, or Southeast Asian ancestry, to prevent Stevens‑Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY (DHA License: 61713011) remarks: “This test is a life‑saving prerequisite before prescribing carbamazepine or phenytoin. A positive result absolutely contraindicates these drugs, protecting patients from severe skin reactions. However, a negative result does not eliminate all risk – clinical vigilance remains essential.”
⚠️ Clinical Notice: Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. This test is for pre‑treatment screening; altering ongoing therapy without physician supervision can be dangerous.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Active severe infection or fever >38.5°C – defer collection.
- Known hypersensitivity to latex or antiseptics used during venipuncture (inform phlebotomist).
- If you develop sudden rash, blisters, skin peeling, mouth ulcers, or eye redness after starting carbamazepine/phenytoin, stop the drug and seek emergency care immediately (call 998).
- For minors, testing must comply with UAE CDS Law 2026 – parental consent and DHA approval required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who should get the HLA‑B*15:02 test in the UAE?

Can I take a buccal swab at home instead of blood?
