Abstract excerpt
To investigate the relationship between meiotic crossover hot spots and block-like linkage disequilibrium (LD), we have extended our high-resolution studies of the human MHC class II region to a 90-kb segment upstream of the HLA-DOA gene. LD blocks in this region are not as well defined as in the neighboring 210-kb DNA segment but do show two regions of LD breakdown in which coalescent analysis indicates...
