Abstract excerpt
Detailed knowledge of linkage disequilibrium (LD) is regarded as a prerequisite for population-based disease gene mapping. Variable patterns across the human genome are now recognized, both between regions and populations. Here, we demonstrate that LD may also vary within a genomic region in a haplotype-specific manner. In 864 Caucasian unrelated individuals, we describe haplotype-specific LD patterns across the...
