Identification of the new HLA-DPB1 allele, DPB1*647:01, in an Italian patient with leukemia.

A novel HLA-DPB1 allele, named HLA-DPB1*647:01, identified in a leukemia patient.

Polymorphism of Opioid Receptors μ1 in Highly Hypnotizable Subjects.

The possible cooperation between hypnotizability-related and placebo mechanisms in pain modulation has not been consistently assessed. Here, we investigate possible genetic bases for such cooperation. The OPRM1 gene, which encodes the μ1 opioid receptor-the primary site of action for endogenous and exogenous opioids-is polymorphic in the general population for the missense mutation Asn40Asp (A118G, rs1799971).

Identification of two new HLA class I alleles in Italian bone marrow donors: A*31:125 and B*44:269.

Two novel alleles, HLA-A*31:125 and HLA-B*44:269, are described in Italian bone marrow donors.

Characterization of a novel HLA-B*18 variant allele, HLA-B*18:122, by genome sequencing.

The HLA-B*18:122 allele showed four nucleotide differences from HLA-B*18:01:01:01.

Characterization of a novel HLA-DRB1 allele, HLA-DRB1*13:215, in an Italian bone marrow donor.

One nucleotide substitution at residue 142 of the HLA-DRB1*13:01:01 results in a new allele, HLA-DRB1*13:215.
