Associations of HLA genotypes with antithyroid drug‐induced agranulocytosis: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of pharmacogenomics studies
Bibliographic record
Abstract
AIMS: Antithyroid drug (ATD)-induced agranulocytosis is a life-threatening adverse drug reaction. Previous studies suggested that HLA genotypes may play an important role in ATD-induced agranulocytosis. To examine the associations between HLA genotypes and ATD-induced agranulocytosis, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of pharmacogenomics studies. METHODS: We searched the MEDLINE, Embase and CENTRAL databases on 16 June 2018 for case-control studies on the associations between HLA genotypes with ATD-induced agranulocytosis. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to evaluate the risk of bias of included studies. We conducted random-effects model meta-analysis to obtain pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to determine the associations between HLA genotypes and ATD-induced agranulocytosis. RESULTS: We included 5 studies with 142 ATD-induced agranulocytosis cases, 1529 matched ATD-tolerant controls and 5945 healthy controls. The risk of bias of included studies was generally low. ATD-induced agranulocytosis was associated with HLA-B*27:05 (OR 10.97; 95% CI 0.75-159.99), HLA-B*38:02 (OR 19.85; 95% CI 7.94-49.57) and HLA-DRB1*08:03 (OR 5.29; 95% CI 3.44-8.14). After excluding propylthiouracil, the associations of ATD-induced agranulocytosis with HLA-B*27:05 and HLA-B*38:02 were strengthened (OR being 20.61 (95% CI 5.21-81.58) and 40.59 (95% CI 13.24-124.47), respectively). The associations of ATD-induced agranulocytosis with HLA-B*27:05, HLA-B*38:02 and HLA-DRB1*08:03 remained significant when compared to population controls (OR being 7.37 (95% CI 3.86-14.07), 36.43 (95% CI 12.80-103.70) and 5.42 (95% CI 2.36-12.47), respectively). HLA-B*27:05, HLA-B*38:02, and HLA-DRB1*08:03 alleles were associated with ATD-induced agranulocytosis, especially in carbimazole/methimazole-induced agranulocytosis. CONCLUSIONS: HLA-B*27:05, HLA-B*38:02 and HLA-DRB1*08:03 alleles were associated with ATD-induced agranulocytosis, especially in carbimazole/methimazole-induced agranulocytosis.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
