Abstract excerpt
Much attention is being given to the identification of common disease genes through whole-genome linkage disequilibrium (LD) screens with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Simulation studies have suggested that useful LD is unlikely to extend beyond 3 kb, and that > 500,000 SNPs may be needed for comprehensive coverage of the genome. The TCR alpha/delta locus on chromosome 14q contains many V, J and D...
