Abstract excerpt
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is the central concept of genetic association studies. Although LD has been shown not to be uniformly distributed across the genome, limited information is available about the characteristics of LD within candidate genes at large. We screened coding and regulatory regions of 50 candidate genes for cardiovascular diseases and identified 228 polymorphisms. The overall sequence diversity...
