Dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (DHS) is restricted toHLA-B∗13:01. However, the positive predictive value forHLA-B∗13:01is only 7.8%. To explore the potential coexisting factors involved in the occurrence of DHS, we carried out a GWAS and a genome-wide DNA methylation profile analysis comparing patients with DHS with dapsone-tolerant control subjects (all carryingHLA-B∗13:01). No non-HLA SNPs associated with DHS were identified at the genome-wide level. However, the pathway of antigen processing and presentation was enriched in patients with DHS, and the geneTAP2was identified. Expression ofTAP2and its molecular chaperone,TAP1, were validated by quantitative PCR, and in vitro functional experiments were performed. The results showed that patients with DHS have higher mRNA levels ofTAP1andTAP2and an enhanced capacity for antigen-presenting cells activating dapsone-specific T cells compared with dapsone-tolerant controls. Activation of dapsone-specific T cells was inhibited when TAP function of antigen-presenting cells was impaired. This study shows that epigenetic regulation ofTAP1andTAP2affects the function of antigen-presenting cells and is a critical factor that mediates the development of DHS.
