Genetic variation and hematology: single-nucleotide polymorphisms, haplotypes, and complex disease.

Abstract excerpt

In the course of generating a draft sequence of the human genome, we now recognize the enormous scope of genetic variation among humans, which can be used to probe the genetics of complex diseases such as leukemia or thrombosis. There is already mounting evidence of new susceptibility genes and genes that interact with environmental factors. Genetic variants, especially single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs),...
