Abstract excerpt
The average length of linkage disequilibrium (LD) blocks in European populations is about 22 kb. In this study, we have selected 20 genes with LD blocks larger than 60 kb (with a median length of 88 kb) from a total of 121 cancer-related genes. We observed limited haplotype diversity, with an average of three haplotypes per gene accounting for more than 90% of the diversity, two of these being a Yin-Yang pair in...
