Abstract excerpt
Understanding genetic variation might reveal the cause of individual susceptibility to a variety of complex diseases such as asthma, diabetes, and cancer. Current efforts to identify functional DNA variants have essentially been oriented toward single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) found in coding regions of candidate genes since they have direct impact on the structure and function of the affected proteins....
