The basis for recent developments on the characterization of the linkage-disequilibrium structure of the genome and the application of association mapping to genes for common human diseases is described. Patterns of linkage disequilibrium are now understood, for a number of human populations, in unprecedented detail. This information not only provides a vital resource for the design and execution of powerful...
