Abstract excerpt
A significant proportion of the human genome is contained within haplotype blocks across which pairwise linkage disequilibrium (LD) is very high. However, LD is also often high between markers at more remote distances, and within different haplotype blocks. Here, we evaluate the origins of haplotype block structure in the three genes for alpha1 adrenergic receptors (alpha1-AR) in the human genome ( ADRA1A, ADRA1B...
