Abstract excerpt
There is currently considerable interest in the use of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to map disease susceptibility genes. The success of this method will depend on a number of factors including the strength of linkage disequilibrium (LD) between marker and disease loci. We used a data set of SNP genotypings in the region of the APOE disease susceptibility locus to investigate the likely usefulness of...
