HLA-DQB1*0502 showed a tendency of negative association with SJS/TEN with ocular complications (carrier frequency: p<0.05, Pc=0.17, OR=0; allele frequency: p<0.05, Pc=0.19, OR=0). Although none of the 71 SJS/TEN patients and 10 of the 117 healthy volunteers (8.5%) had the HLA-DQB1*0502 allele, the correction of the p-value for the number of alleles detected (n=14) rendered the result not significant.
