Abstract excerpt

The design of genetic studies of complex diseases is dependent on the extent and distribution of linkage disequilibrium (LD) across the genome in different populations. Here, we characterize the extent of LD in the Azores (Western, Central, and Eastern island groups) and mainland Portugal populations. LD was evaluated in the Xq13.3 region by genotyping eight STR markers spanning 20.9 Mb. Standardized multiallelic...
