Abstract excerpt
Current debate focuses on the relevance of linkage disequilibrium (LD), ethnicity and underlying haplotype structure to the search for genes involved in complex disorders. The recently described association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the CARD15 (NOD2) gene and Crohn's disease (CD) in populations of north-European descent provides a test case that we have subjected to detailed SNP haplotype...
