Proposal for an allele nomenclature system based on the evolutionary divergence of haplotypes.

Abstract excerpt

The classical view of what constitutes an "allele" has been challenged by recent findings of a great deal of human genetic variability, i.e., we can expect, on average, one variant site every 100-250 bases of our haploid genome. The haplotype is defined as "the patterns of co-occurrence of varian...
