Abstract excerpt
In the search for common genetic variants that contribute to prevalent human diseases, patterns of linkage disequilibrium (LD) among linked markers should be considered when selecting SNPs. Genotyping efficiency can be increased by choosing tagging SNPs (tagSNPs) in LD with other SNPs. However, it remains to be seen whether tagSNPs defined in one population efficiently capture LD in other populations; that is,...
