Significant variation in haplotype block structure but conservation in tagSNP patterns among global populations.

Abstract excerpt

The initial belief that haplotype block boundaries and haplotypes were largely shared across populations was a foundation for constructing a haplotype map of the human genome using common SNP markers. The HapMap data document the generality of a block-like pattern of linkage disequilibrium (LD) with regions of low and high haplotype diversity but differences among the populations. Studies of many additional...
