Genotyping:The predictive power of haplotypes in clinical response

Abstract excerpt

A variety of approaches have been proposed to find genetic markers that can be used in a clinical setting. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the basis of the most commonly used approaches. Here we describe an approach using gene-based haplotypes, which are collections of SNPs located throughout the ftinctional regions of candidate genes, and organised as they occur separately on an individual's two...
