Notes

  1. HLA = human leukocyte antigen; DRESS = drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms.

  2. BioVU contains nearly 250 000 unique, research-ready DNA samples linked to de-identified patient records.

  3. HLA genes encode proteins that present antigens (i.e. foreign peptides) to T cells to stimulate an immune response.
