Abstract excerpt
A principal goal in human genetics is to provide the tools necessary to enable genome-wide association studies. Extensive information on the distribution of gene-based single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns across the genome is required in order to choose markers for efficient implementation of this approach. To obtain such information, we have genotyped a large Japanese...
