TL;DR: The Italian Caucasian population shows polymorphism of the KIR gene family like other Caucasian and non-Caucasian populations, and although 64 genotypes have been observed, genotype 1 remains the most frequent as already observed in other populations.

TL;DR: Overall, people from South Italy preferentially use the KIR3DL1-HLA-B Bw4 functional unit, while those from the North Italy equally use both the Kir3DL2-HLa-A3/A11 and the K IR3 DL1- HLA- Bw 4 functional units to fight infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a novel HLA-DQB1*06 allele, HLA-DQB1*06:04:04.
TL;DR: The novel allele human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQB1 differs from HLA-DQB2 by a silent nucleotide substitution at codon 75 (TTG → CTG).
