Does haplotype diversity predict power for association mapping of disease susceptibility?

Abstract excerpt

Many recent studies have established that haplotype diversity in a small region may not be greatly diminished when the number of markers is reduced to a smaller set of "haplotype-tagging" single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that identify the most common haplotypes. These studies are motivated by the assumption that retention of haplotype diversity assures retention of power for mapping disease susceptibility...
