Andrea, integers are real, however I think you are referring to solving a mixed integer problem. Here is an example of how it can be done using GA:

R2011a did not support constraining to integer.
I don't think you can (even with R2012b) constrain to arbitrary sets of values. However, you can (in versions that support it) constrain to integer values, with a range of 1 to the number of different values, and then in the function you provide, use that variable as an index into the table of actual values.

As Benji said, you cannot perform mixed integer optimization automatically in GA unless you have MATLAB R2011b or later. However, you can write custom population functions for this purpose; see this explanation. You might also want to see this example on mapping integer variables to a finite set of choices.
Good luck,
