Abstract excerpt
We have identified, in four diverse human populations, five common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the coding region of the gene for the blood coagulation protease factor XI. Each SNP has an allele frequency >5% in at least one population. Three of the SNPs (C472T, A844G, and T1234C), spread out over approximately 10 kb of genomic DNA, are in marked linkage disequilibrium (LD) with one another (P <...
