-Genotyping: A leukocyte DNA sample is collected in each subject and the DNA is extracted through standard salting out method. Genotyping is performed by RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism), which consists in a PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) followed by proper enzymatic digestion and resolution on agarose gel. Alternatively, it is performed were assessed by the high-throughput genotyping Veracode technique (Illumina Inc, CA), applying the GoldenGate Genotyping Assay according to manufacturer's instructions.
