Fine mapping functional sites or regions from case-control data using haplotypes of multiple linked SNPs.

Abstract excerpt

Previously, we reported an algorithm for scanning a large number of tightly linked single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for LD mapping of functional sites or regions from a family-based association design. In the present study, we extend our method to a case-control design. We first use the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm to estimate haplotype frequencies of multiple linked SNPs, and follow this by...
