HLA-B allele frequencies and implications for pharmacogenetics in the Kuwaiti population
Our study enriches the regional genetic landscape by delineating <i>HLA-B</i> allele variations within Kuwait and across the Arabian Peninsula. This genetic insight, along with the identification of markers previously linked to drug hypersensitivity, provides a foundation for future pharmacogenetic research and potential personalized medicine strategies in the region.
