title: Molecular basis of inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H1 (ITIH1) polymorphism.
abstract: A genetic polymorphism of the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H1 (ITIH1) was analyzed at the nucleic acid level. Three common alleles, ITIH1*1, ITIH1*2 and ITIH1*3, were characterized by mutations at codons 551 and 561 in exon 14. ITIH1*1 was characterized by GAG (Glu) at codon 551 and CAG (Gln) at codon 561, ITIH1*2, by GTG (Val) and CGG (Arg), and ITIH1*3, by GAG (Glu) and CGG (Arg).
