Can HLA Typing Predict Toxicological Risk?


HLA typing, which involves identifying an individual's HLA alleles, can help predict susceptibility to certain toxicological risks. For instance, preemptive HLA screening can identify individuals at higher risk of drug-induced hypersensitivity reactions, allowing for personalized medication choices and reducing the likelihood of adverse effects. Although not yet universally applied, HLA typing is a growing area of interest in personalized medicine.
